Perkins School collects items for HSWC Wayne Post As part of their annual 100th Day of the School Year celebration, students and staff at Newark’s Perkins School donated 227 items to the Humane Society of Wayne County. Mark Plyter, HSWC executive director, came to the school to collect the items, which included cleaning supplies, cat litter, dog and cat treats, dog and cat food, paper towels and puppy pads. Principal Rhonda Underhill said after the school reached its goal of 100 items for the two-week drive, drive organizers “rallied the troops” in daily announcements to keep the donations coming. The school more than doubled its goal by week’s end.
