Dog tags for kids

Tracy Sicafuse’s third-grade class at Dover Elementary School worked on an assembly line earlier this month in the school cafeteria to make key chains out of dog tags. 

The students applied patriotic stickers and a ring with beads to the dog tags from Dogtagsforkids.com. The dog tags will be distributed to students at Dover Elementary who bought them through a fundraiser for the nonprofit Dog Tags for Kids, which sends engraved dog tags to children from their parents who are serving in the military. Dover students raised $400 as part of an economics project.

Sicafuse funded the program through a grant from the Westlake Education Foundation.
