We can best do this by example and by providing them with free, compelling humane education materials. And what better time to start than during American Humane's 106 th annual ®", which is the oldest commemorative week in U.S. history and takes place in 2021 from May 2-8. This year, American Humane is asking all Americans to take an online pledge to do four simple things to improve the world for animals and is making a variety of free humane education materials available online to parents, teachers and children. Free downloadable materials include lessons and teaching sheets for pre-K to Grade 5 students, "Be Kind to Animals" posters, and ideas to celebrate and protect Earth's creatures. These are all available at www.americanhumane.org/BeKind.
