Classroom Presentations

"Children are trained to extend justice, kindness and mercy to animals be and considerate in their relations with each other. Character training alone can result in men and women of broader sympathies, more humane, law-abiding more valuable citizens. Humane education is teaching in the schools and community the principles of justice, goodwill and humanity toward all life. The cultivation of kindness to animals is but the starting point towards that larger humanity of every fellow of every race. A generation of people trained in these principles approach difficulties as neighbors and not as enemies."

We will be happy to design a presentation on a specific subject of interest to your classroom. Some examples include: Choosing a Pet and Pet Care, Safety Around Animals-Bite Prevention, Meet an Animal Services Officer, etc.

We are available to come to your school during your faculty meetings or at other times convenient for you. We will bring you up to date on Humane Education materials that can be integrated into your daily curriculum. Many materials are available that can make teaching Humane Education easy and fun! Call TRACEY STEVENS-MARTIN at 925-335-8340 to schedule an appointment.
