Buddy Field Trip

Mrs. Mater’s Kindergarten class and Mrs. Uhlig’s 3rd Grade class recently teamed up for a special field trip to the Kansas Humane Society, where each buddy group chose a dog or cat to learn more about. After gathering details about their chosen animals, the students returned to school and put their writing skills to work by creating persuasive letters explaining why their animal deserves a loving forever home!

Their letters are now hanging outside each animal’s room at the Humane Society for potential adopters to read. Students are also sharing copies with family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who might be looking to add a furry friend to their family.

Their BIG goal? 100% ADOPTED! ❤️ And they are already off to a great start! As of Saturday, FOUR of their featured animals had already found their forever homes!

We will continue following our animals' journeys and celebrating each adoption along the way. We are so proud of these students for using their voices, creativity, and persuasive writing skills to make a difference.🐶🐱❤️
