For two weeks, students at Whitlow Elementary School collected pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.Wednesday, the students got to experience firsthand what their efforts went toward, as they walked into a room of fluffy and friendly Labradors and golden retrievers.The kids recently collected about $1,000 for the Coins for Canine program. The money benefits Canine Assistants, an organization that trains and donates service dogs to children and adults in need. “There are a lot of kids that were stuck at home and couldn’t come to school ... and these dogs help change that,” said Lysa Gazza, a volunteer with the organization.
