RedRover Responders ready to care for animals in crisis
Teaching empathy by helping animals
Inspired by the RedRover Readers curriculum, Susan Courtney and her first graders at Norwood Street School have rescued kittens from the street and more than 20 more cats and kittens from a hoarder’s house; they’ve also helped two families in their Los Angeles neighborhood unchain their dogs and set them up in dog runs. Says Courtney: “One by one, animal lives are being made better because students find their own voice and speak up freely to each other, to their families and their community.”
