Apangea Learning Students love their pets DOGgone-it

Students within Western Pennsylvania and across the country love their pets DOGgone-it and are putting their money where their heart is. Today, the Western PA Humane Society will be awarded a check for almost $800 dollars from donations given by middle and high school students across the country, including those in the Pittsburgh region.

 

 

These students are part of a unique economic rewards-based incentive program designed by Pittsburgh-based Apangea Learning to motivate students to want to learn math. As students learn math through Apangea Learning’s supplemental math program, they accrue points for their efforts. Many students redeem these points for gift cards to their favorite retailer, BUT these students chose an altruistic option: donate the dollar value of their points towards a cause they believe in: The Humane Society.

   

“We are thrilled to accept this generous donation from these caring students,” says Lee Nesler, Executive Director of the WPA Humane Society.  “The money will be used to care for the thousands of animals that come to the shelter each month.”
