As part of our unit on Resources in Our Communities, the Curley First Grade will be going on a guided tour of the MSPCA Boston Adoption Center at 350 South Huntington Avenue in Jamaica Plain. In order to accommodate everyone, each classroom will be visiting the MSPCA on a separate day (four dates between March and April TBD) and will be making the short journey from the Curley on foot.
Because students will be in close proximity to various animals during the tour, we are asking families to let the school nurse know if their student has an allergy or another condition (such as asthma) that may be impacted by close contact with animals. Students of families that opt-out of the guided tour will be able to remain at the Curley with the other classrooms not visiting that MSPCA on that day.
Additionally, the MSPCA is asking for a $5 donation per student to cover the cost of care for the animals. Many groups also plan a donation drive prior to their tour to collect blankets, toys, food and other items to give to the animals at the adoption center. A copy of the MSPCA Wish List is available here if your child would like to bring donations with them for the animals.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out!
