The Suffolk Humane Society Humane Education Committee partnered with Suffolk Public Schools to hold an art contest and reception in honor of "Be Kind to Animals" week, which was celebrated May 2-8, 2010. With 72 entries in elementary, middle and high schools, the first art contest was a huge success! Be looking for information about next year's contest which will be during the first week of May 2011!

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our humane education volunteers, judges and the Suffolk Museum for hosting this event!
