Team Educate sponsors a writing contest for grades 4th through 6th, and a number of Watauga County students participate. The winners are usually acknowledged at a School Board meeting and are awarded Amazon gift cards. This contest is ongoing each school year, in an effort to bring awareness of the mission of the Humane Society, and to encourage children to treat animals with compassion and kindness.
Student groups, including public, private, and charter schools, scout troops and 4H camps, also visited the WHS Adoption Center for tours, animal meet and greets, crafts and pet safety presentations.
