The Girl Scouts of McLean, VA, led by Linda Kuzmak, have been working at Stanton Elementary for a long, long time. They immediately signed up to help make PAL Club a success. The Scouts are donating books, supporting field trips, reading with the kids, and taking on other responsibilities as they come up.
The Washington Humane Society’s (http://www.washhumane.org/index.asp) delightful Shakala Brown is a regular educator at PAL Club. Shakala helps the children learn how to take care of pets and what to do if they see an abused or neglected animal. Shakala is engaging and warm, and the children respond with enthusiasm. The Washington Humane Society provides comfort and care to over 30,000 animals each year and PAL is proud to be working with them.
The American Humane Society is also bringing a love of animals to PAL Club kids with its Humane Education program (http://www.americanhumane.org/human-animal-bond/programs/humane-education). PAL Club teachers attended a one-day intensive training and are helping the children develop character, avoid dog bites and appreciate the human-animal bond. Thanks to Jane Greco Deming and Marie McCabe for all their support.
Capital Region Children’s Center http://www.dccrcc.com/ is on the job evaluating PAL Club. Can the power of the human-animal bond and children’s affinity for animals enact change? CRCC has a wealth of talent and experience helping children with behavior challenges, and they are working with PAL to assess and assist as we achieve the PAL Club’s goal of increasing academic skills and improving behavioral and social skills.
