Local students donate to Animal Samaritans during visit KESQ News Channel 3 for a tour

Some students from Oasis Elementary School paid a visit to KESQ while learning the importance of community involvement.

Mrs. Kay's third-grade class took a tour of our newsroom and while here, they also presented Animal Samaritans with a donation.

For the last few months, the students have been collecting food and other items to donate to the organization.

The kids met several animals and Animal Samaritan volunteers.
