Treasure Village Montessori honored the late Pascal Weisberger by donating a number of items to a near-and-dear cause the young boy had before tragically passing away in May 2020. Taking a brief break from studies on March 15, TVM students and faculty presented a $500 check and pet toys they made to the Upper Keys Humane Society. To generate funds, students spent several hours washing vehicles during the annual Pascal’s Day of Service on Feb. 2. In addition, students crafted and sewed pet toys for the furry animals at UKHS, located in Key Largo.
