Start or Expand an Adopt-a-Classroom Program for Your Humane Organization

With responsible pet care as a constant theme, KIND News/ Adopt-a-Classroom is an important part of many local animal care and control organizations' humane education programs.
KIND News regularly covers licensing, the need to properly train pets, spaying and neutering, problems associated with wild animals as pets, and the vital role animal care and control agencies play in the community. You too can start an Adopt-a-Classroom program and provide this award-winning humane education tool to your schools.

In the Classroom When You Can’t Be
A consistent part of a child’s school year, KIND News keeps important lessons about animal protection resonating in the classroom long after students’ last shelter tour or your last school presentation. Our surveys of teachers receiving the newspaper show that 99 percent think teaching children to care responsibly for pets is “very important” or “important.” KIND News gives teachers that opportunity every month during the school year. And our surveys show that virtually 100 percent of teachers who receive KIND News use it every month.

Raise Funds
One way of participating in the Adopt-a-Classroom program is by paying for KIND News subscriptions from your own budget
at the discounted prices available only to animal care and control agencies―$20-$25 based on the total number of classrooms adopted. Or, you can actually raise money by seeking donations from outside funding sources, such as local civic groups, businesses, and individuals. Starting an Adopt-a-Classroom program can also broaden your fundraising base and help increase your visibility in the community.
