No More Bullying! – 3rd Grade through 5th Grade
You might wonder why an animal shelter would care to prevent bullying in our schools. Many studies show that people who mistreat animals are more likely to bully their peers and later become violent towards others.
The Humane Animal Welfare Society would love to work with the students in your 3rd, 4th and/or 5th grade classrooms to present this program and teach children a way that prevents them from practicing bullying.
This program consists of five visits to a classroom for an hour each visit. The program teaches children core values such as respect, self-control, responsibility and compassion, and are encouraged to practice those values so they become ingrained in their character. Additionally, incorporating a visit from a dog with these lessons helps to keep students attention, and adds an incentive to practice each week’s lesson.

Grant funding may be available for the No More Bullying program, including the materials, so that we can provide it at minimal or no charge to your school.
Teacher’s Pet
Would you like a pet for your classroom to teach your students how to be a responsible pet owner? Did you know you can temporarily foster an adoptable HAWS pet? We will provide you with an animal, the start-up supplies to care for it and then HAWS will take welcome the animal back to prepare it for its forever home or facilitate the adoption by one of the student’s families when their visit to your classroom is complete. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to practice compassion, responsibility and learn about citizenship through the hands on activity of caring for a pet with their peers!
