PupPutt began at Reagan in 2010 as a service learning project of the Reagan and Brown 4/5 classes. In 2011, the project was run by the Reagan 4/5 and 2/3 classes. In both 2010 and 2011, all proceeds benefitted the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Hope Foundation. SCI Hope was inspired by the experiences of the late John Wassen, a Reagan parent and volunteer, and has helped to improve the independence and quality of life of several Brownsburg residents with spinal cord injuries.
PupPutt has been an amazingly successful project both in funds raised for SCI Hope and lessons learned by the students. In 2012, the Reagan student council and more staff will join the 4/5 and 2/3 classes in the PupPutt service project, and some proceeds will also benefit the school in addition to SCI Hope.
