Helping the Animals

We learn so much and grow so much when we help others. For the second year our class, Wilson's Whiskers, has taken on the Greater Birmingham Humane Society as a service project. We began collecting towels for the animals. We e-mailed all of the other teachers in our school and told them of our project. One of our new second grade teachers sent a message back that she and her class wanted to join us.

Each morning for a week the boys and girls came to school with towels for the animals. The children were so excited to bring them. But most of all they were excited to know they were helping the animals.

We had great response from parents about the project. They loved the idea of teaching the children about respect, kindness, and being helpful. And they also took advantage of cleaning out the linen closet for a good cause!!!!

We are so proud to help a great organization. To find out more about the humane society visit www.gbhs.org.
