A great idea!
There are many ways elementary school children benefit from pet companionship. Pets can teach compassion, responsibility and ignites curiosity and respect forabout animals and their habitats.
That’s why PetSmart is GIVING AWAY (like, for free) animals to teachers who want them!
The pet retail chain is now offering a “Pets in the Classroom” grant for elementary (pre-K through 6th) grade teachers of both public and private schools. The program will cover all the expenses for a classroom specialty pet and habitat.
Grants are available in the following categories through your local PetSmart store: Hamster, Guinea Pig, Fish, Bearded Dragon and Leopard Gecko. So yeah, you can get a dragon in your classroom!
There is no excuses for ANY elementary school teacher not to get one!
