Moore County Citizens' Pet Responsibility Committee
"Be the change you want to see in the world." - Gandhi
MISSIONTo provide and drive, with the support of the Moore County Commissioners, solutions to the pet overpopulation crisis in Moore County.
GOAL
To share the Pet Responsibility curriculum with over 1,000 4th grade students in Moore County each year.
APPROACH
Present our program as an integral part of the Moore County School's Character Education program which focuses on good judgment, integrity, kindness, perseverance, respect and responsibility and is linked to the N.C. Standard Course of Study and National Common Core Curriculum.
Mobilize a team-teach volunteer base, with a minimum of two teachers, assigned to the same school each year and present the curriculum to each class, annually, once a week, for a period of six weeks.
"The lessons were very appropriate for 4th graders. They were presented in a manner that held the attention and focus of the students. Students were involved and were learning."
Today, the PRC Curriculum is taught to 13 public and 9 private fourth grade classes in Moore County Schools.
