| The
Humane Society, Animal League for Life provides educational classes
and material to
elementary schools and other interest groups.
Our
"KIND" (Kids in Nature's Defense) education
program is a means to encourage the children of our
community to become responsible pet
owners, develop compassion, respect, and responsible
behavior, that will ultimately carry over into
adulthood.
Our education program provides
the KIND News to each child participating in
this program. KIND News is designed for students at
three reading levels: primary (kindergarten through second
grade); junior (grades 3 and 4); and senior (grades 5 and
6). It is published — from September through May — by
the National Association for Humane and Environmental
Education youth education division of the Humane Society
of the United States.

The KIND newspaper, whose
mission is to help shape the future of children,
is a colorful, four-page classroom newspaper read by more
than one million elementary school students nationwide.
Kind News is highly praised by teachers and has received
numerous awards for educational and editorial excellence.
Through puzzles, projects, and fascinating articles, the
newspaper teaches children the value of kindness toward
people, animals, and the environment. Its emphasis on
humane values, such as fairness, compassion, and
responsibility, seeks to encourage good character in
children.
Here are some samples of
the KIND News:
