SH Promise School
Primrose students spend time with Lee McDonald of Birmingham Jefferson County Animal Control.For a month this summer, 60 preschoolers at Primrose School at Liberty Park learned about pets and what it takes to help them.
Their Precious Pets program culminated with a donation of 275 canned and dried pet food items and supplies to the Adoption/Rescue department at Birmingham Jefferson County Animal Control (BJCAC).
“At Primrose Schools, our Precious Pets drive provides an opportunity for children to experience the special value of helping others, including animals,” Margaret O’Bryant of Primrose said. “Through hosting the annual pet food and supply drive, we’re not only able to teach them the importance of lending a helping hand, but we’re showing them how they can make a difference.”
Lee McDonald of BJCAC visited Primrose with Winky, an adoptable dog. Winky and McDonald spoke to the children about caring for pets.
