Heritage Elementary

🎉🐾 Heritage Elementary is proud to support Milford High School’s 8th Annual Charity Week! 🐾🎉 Happening May 9th – May 16th, this amazing tradition unites our school family and community for a cause that makes a real difference. This year, we’re rallying behind Happy Paws Haven Co., a Metro Detroit-based organization that rescues stray animals and helps families care for their pets. 🐶🐱❤️ Together, we’re hoping to help Milford High reach their goal of raising $35,000 to build new kennels and repair transportation vehicles — so Happy Paws can keep up their life-saving work! ✨ Let’s show our Heritage pride and support our high school family! Every donation, big or small, matters. 👉 To donate or get involved, contact mhsleadership@hvs.org. #HeritageSupportsMilford #CharityWeek2025 #HappyPawsHaven #OneCommunityOneCause
