I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way,
begins the iconic Whitney Houston song. The four and five year old students in the Adventure Room at the Lowell School spent the latter part of the 2012 school year learning about entrepreneurship and philanthropy while applying their artistic talents. The pre-primary students planned, created, and sold more than a 100 pieces of jewelry. The students sent the proceeds from their jewelry store sale to the League to help care for the animals. Perhaps these future leaders will change the world so that there won't be millions of unwanted cats and dogs in the United States. I am certain that every time a compliment is received about the jewelry, a story is told about its creation and the needs of the Washington Animal Rescue League. So, that makes these rising kindergartners not only artists, entrepreneurs and philanthropists, but educators, too.
