While Supplies Last

Each year, the 7th graders of Nichols School undertake a special project aimed at fostering connections with the Western New York community and alumni.  This year, the students opted to design a puzzle featuring dogs from their own imagination to help promote White Whiskers Senior Dog Sanctuary.  The group partnered with Buffalo Games to produce a 300-piece puzzle; the puzzle sells for just $15 and all proceeds will benefit White Whiskers.

There are a limited number of puzzles available, so purchase yours before time runs out!   Click here to view and order.
