By Jeff Steers JTV News (February 22, 2022 5:17 PM) Pizza, pets, and pants came together for a sizeable donation to the Jackson County Animal Shelter on Tuesday. And teachers, parents, and students all helped. Students, teachers, and parents from Dibble Elementary School spent December and January raising money and purchasing pet supplies for the Jackson County Animal Shelter. The result was a check for $2,665.90 and hundreds more in pet supplies for the shelter. The project was part of the Sunshine Club at Dibble. In December, teachers paid $20 for an addition jean day to raise money for the shelter. Students went to work in January by bringing in change and pet supplies. The two top classes with the most donations earned a pizza party for their efforts. The fundraiser was organized by fifth grade teacher Jennifer Hause. “I knew that I wanted to spearhead the effort because for the love of pets by the students,” Hause said. “I also adopted my cat, Miracle, from the shelter.” Hause said students also brought…

And through the trials and tribulations of six-minute matches, tough practices, and the mental and physical strain of wrestling she has found a sport that teaches her not to give up. That all paid off on Saturday as Tobey qualified for the Michigan High School Athletic Association state wrestling finals by placing fifth at the regional tournament at Hartland High School last weekend. She finished fifth in the 155 pound weight class. Two regional tournaments were held – Hartland and Howell – and the top eight in each weight class moved on to the state tournament. This is the first MHSAA state wrestling tournament for girls only. “This makes me feel special and glad to be part of it before I graduated,” Tobey said of being a state qualifier in the first MHSAA state-sponsored tournament. “No other sport pushes me, relieves stress, and makes me stronger as a person.” Tobey began wrestling at the urging of a friend in ninth grade. She has worked her way up in…
