On July 5th of this year, Trace Elementary School was destroyed by a five alarm fire. As a result of this tragedy, there has been an outpouring of community support to help meet the $100,000 insurance deductible, as well as provide funds for books and materials so the teachers have something to work with as they start the new school year today.
One of the community activities was a huge garage sale which took place two weeks ago. Neighbors donated items to be sold at this sale, and ALL proceeds went to the teachers at Trace Elementary. San Jose Animal Advocates had a table where we sold donated pet and animal-related items. In the end, we estimate that we contributed about $200, and the sale as a whole raised close to $5,000! It was great to see the community rally for such a great cause, and have a chance to chat with our fellow animal-loving neighbors.
