Teachers + Learning Pet Responsibility = Compassionate Kids

Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana (SNSI) is once again sponsoring teachers in the Adopt-A-Teacher program. Each month from September through May, adopted teachers will receive 32 copies of the KIND News newspaper as well as a teacher's guide. The program, published by The National Association for Humane and Environmental Education (NAHEE), teaches children respect, responsibility, and compassion for animals, the environment, and each other.

Each month's newsletter gives elementary students articles, puzzles, and projects that teach them the importance of giving. "By teaching kids to value life and the things around them, they in turn will become more responsible and caring adults," said Verna Boggs, Treasurer. "We want to educate as many kids as possible that they can make a difference. Something as simple as teaching them how to properly treat animals, can help to save many future pets from euthanasia, abuse, and neglect."

With the help of donations and fundraisers, SNSI was able to order 76 subscriptions this year for local teachers. If you would like to learn more about KIND News, how to adopt a classroom, or have your classroom sponsored, please contact SNSI at 317.788.6330 or visit us at www.spayneuterservices.org/education.htm.

Founded in 1977, Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana, Inc. is dedicated to help end pet overpopulation in Indiana by providing affordable options to spay-neuter surgeries. Centrally located in Indianapolis, SNSI consists of volunteers who work on behalf of the many unwanted and neglected animals in this state.
