Montgomery Catholic Holy Spirit campus fifth grade student, Joey Tarlavsky, spends his time away from school as a Junior Volunteer for the Montgomery Humane Society. Joey’s volunteer work includes walking dogs, refilling water bowls, tidying the puppy rooms, and showcasing dogs at adoption events. Joey is pictured below at Earth Fare on April 1, with his canine friend, Kira. Joey’s hard work helped Kira get adopted that day by her new forever family! Joey is the son of Tricia and Don Kirk of Pike Road.
