CCSD Cats Catch Cash for Community

Each year, Catskill elementary, middle, and high school students participated in creating cats for the Heart of Catskill’s summer-long Cat’n Around Catskill art exhibition. Their cats adorn the streets of Catskill and showcase our students’ creativity amongst cats created by other area artists. At the end of the summer, Heart of Catskill sells them all off at its annual Cat’s Meow Auction to raise money for the community. It goes to support things like art and music scholarships, local non-profit organizations, and animal shelters.
