• Mountain Humane WoofTrax App Send a screenshot to Stephanie Carlson at to get hours approved. 

  • For every 2 miles a student walks, they will receive 1 hour of community service. WoofTrax allows users to sign up to walk their own dog, or they can walk a fake dog if they do not have a dog at home. It also tracks the routes that are taken on the walk, the miles, and the time. As an added bonus, WoofTrax also makes a donation to the animal shelter that the user supports, so if they pick "Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley" they will be helping to support us through donations. 

• Farmer’s Markets in Hailey and Ketchum: Stay tuned. They will be in need of volunteers this summer. Contact Stacy Whitman at  for more information.
