Perkins Job Corps students spend their Saturday to help rescued animals
Students from the Carl D. Perkins Job Corps Center headed out at 6 a.m. May 3 to assist the East KY Racers with their Ultimate 5K run in Prestonsburg, Ky. The proceeds of the race went to the Floyd County Animal Shelter, which is currently in need of major repairs and expansion due to the overwhelming number of animals in need of shelter.Perkins students Marshall Watts, Jacob Taylor, Mark Hiester and Travis Digregorio added a humorous touch to the event by dressing up as zombies, and throwing mud and colored powder at the racers as they passed by. The students also handed out doughnuts during the food challenge along the course. The students all agreed that it was worth giving their time to ensure all the animals continue to receive the services that the shelter provides.
