     How Teachers Can Introduce Children To The Benefits Of Pets

    Kids benefit from exposure to pets in the classroom in ways that help to shape their lives for years to come.The Pets in the Classroom Grant Program provides teachers of Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth grade classes in both public and private schools with financial support to help purchase and maintain classroom pets through direct, no-hassle educational grants. Teachers can obtain a grant or coupons for the purchase of new pets and pet environments, or pet food and supplies for existing classroom pets.
