How The Program Works
"Greyhounds in the Classroom" is a dynamic, free presentation for grades 5-12 to help introduce young people to greyhounds. Each 30-60 minute program is designed to teach children about the gentle and loving nature of these beautiful creatures and encourage the compassion for greyhounds.
Presentations are given by certified humane educators accompanied by real greyhounds. Read sample lesson plan, supporting materials and PowerPoint presentation.
The presentation covers:
- The history of the greyhound
- The realities of racing life
- The joys of adopting a greyhound!
We provide free educational materials, including posters, magnets and coloring books to all students, and answer any questions they may have. Each program is presented professionally and sensitively.
