Young Scholars Institute ended its two-week summer program, a dedication to critters, with a donation to McMinnville Animal Control.“Every year we encourage the kids to give back to the community in some way,” said Jimmy Haley, who organizes YSI with Carol Neal. “This year, we thought it would be good to have the kids bring whatever extra change they had and we would donate it to Animal Control. We called it Pennies for our Puppy Pals.”YSI is in its third decade of providing summer enrichment opportunities for the youth of Warren County.
