🐾 In honor of World Kindness Day, Union Elementary students and the DECA group visited NOKHS on Monday, bringing handmade dog treats, a special treat container, and beautiful artwork for our shelter and staff! These amazing kids spent time reading to our pups in the Cuddle Club and playing with cats in the Catio—what a joy to watch the animals and kids connect! We are beyond grateful for the visit and the donations. 🐶🐱💕

A huge thank you to DECA for organizing this wonderful event and for choosing NOKHS for your project! DECA, a program that prepares young leaders for future careers, is aiming high with their Kindness Project in hopes of making it to state and even national competitions! Thank you for teaching kindness and showing our community the power of compassion. We’re so proud of each of you and wish you all the best at competition! 👏

Special thanks to:
- DECA Members: Heather Monks (DECA Advisor), Addy George (President), Aubrie Patton (VP of Social Activities), Lanie Hendricks (VP of Social Media)
- Union Elementary Students: Marshall Creed Brown, Emma Grace, Izabella Skinner, Ethan Smith, Natalie Nye, Elianna Hall, Chandler Monks, Alexander (Zander) Thompson, & Isaac Anchondo
- Teachers & Paras: Sandy Mcgraw, Alexis Smith, and Betty Deakin
- Our shelter staff members and volunteers Marilyn, Sarah R., and Kisha for helping make this day so special!
