Animals offer children much more than companionship. They help them develop lifetime character traits such as responsibility, compassion, empathy, accountability, resourcefulness and the ability to love unconditionally.
Teaching children to have compassion and empathy for their furry, feathered and finned friends, is vital for preventing cruelty to animals as well as raising them to respect and treat those who are different from them with kindness. In the spirit of tzedakah, the parents at the school donated cash and goodies which were very well received by Woodrock.
