Sutton Elementary School is hosting "Help Friends with Paws For Melissa Baber" and they need your help.

Tiffany Hoffman, Kindergarten Teacher, at Sutton Elementary School was blessed to work alongside, Melissa Baber, her former assistant.  In 2015, Melissa was taken suddenly and way too soon in 2015.  Mrs. Hoffman wanted to do something to keep her memory and spirit alive for years to come.

Melissa loved animals.  Tiffany decided to host a pet supply drive in her classroom the first year and after that, it caught on throughout the whole school eventually becoming community-wide.
