Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
ZOO CREW provides an experience for middle school students to develop their leadership skills while furthering their science education by working with a variety of animals living on our campus. Through the ZOO CREW program, we excite our youth by caring for a wide range of animals including Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, Bearded Dragons, and our friendly Snakes' daily needs; as well as learning about their various habitats and ecosystems. All of this is provided while in a supervised, safe and nurturing environment.
Science shows children who grow up with the responsibility of caring for animals helps develop key leadership skills.
Humane education fosters empathy in individuals for all living creatures while teaching them to appreciate, respect and help animals; whether companion, wild, or farm. In doing so, the students are building leadership skills such as work ethic, adaptability, continued learning, networking, and passion.
My Project
Within our school we have a science classroom/lab that has our sixteen wonderful campus animals housed on site. Their are 75 on campus students that benefit from the care, socio-emotoional connections, and love for these creatures. With Covid, our club has now more than ever, become a sanctuary for these students who feel the connection with another living creature. The animals are therapeutic for our students, esp. the ones that have many challenges in their lives. We also have many children, who just love animals, and want to be a part of our community.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
