For this reason, NHES works year-round to educate youth across the U.S. about responsible citizenship towards pets. At a NHES’ Kindness in the Classroom presentation, K-6th grade students receive interactive, age-appropriate education about the feelings of animals, the needs of pets, spay/neuter, adoption, and safety with pets.
In 2016-2017 school year, NHES hopes to reach more students than ever. “We’re asking teachers, guidance counselors, and principals to contact us as early as possible this school year as the calendar can fill up quickly,” says Flinn.To get more information about Kindness in the Classroom, or to schedule a visit at your school, email education@nhes.org or call Megan Flinn at 304-725-0506 X 205.
