Paws and
Claws Society first offered KIND News in 1994 to every
child enrolled in the third grade throughout Gloucester
County. Later in September, 2006, Paws and Claws
Society introduced a formalized program of humane
education to the children of Cape May County. KIND
News, an award-winning newspaper that teaches children
respect for animals was made available monthly to 3096
children enrolled in the second, third and fourth grades
throughout the county. This teaching tool establishes a
classroom theme of kindness, fosters compassion and
responsibility, and motivates learning using the
high-interest topic of animals. Responsible pet care is
one of the main themes of the publication which
emphasizes the importance of spay/neuter. Each issue
features a KIND Club Project designed to benefit
animals. The program also provides each classroom with
a poster-sized calendar of humane announcements--a
different one for each school day--for students to
read. Many years later, the Kind News offering, is
still loved and used by thousands of students and teachers.
