Fred the Preparedness Dog visited gifted students at Linn Education
Center recently to raise awareness for family and pet preparedness in all types
of emergencies. Led by his human, Michael McNulty, Fred travels to many schools
and community events each year to educate kids age 5-12 about items needed for
an emergency kit and to think about their pets in emergency situations.
McNulty
works for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and, thanks to a grant
from the Center... for Disease Control, he has been able to take Fred out
to schools for almost two years now. According to McNulty, “(The students)
really take the message home and they talk to mom and dad about Fred. We give
them coloring books and stickers too, so hopefully they can get their families
to make an emergency plan.” Thanks for visiting our students, Michael and
Fred!
We are the largest district in Shawnee County & believe that our students will change the world.
