WHO WE ARE Pets in the Classroom is an educational grants program to support school teachers to have aquarium fish or small pets in the classroom. School teachers have very limited resources for the support of classroom animals. That¡¯s why The Pet Care Trust is sponsoring this program to help teachers support pets in the classroom through direct, no-hassle grants. You can obtain a grant or coupon for the purchase of new pets, pet environments or pet food and supplies for existing classroom pets. The purpose of The Pet Care Trust is to promote public understanding regarding the value of and the right to enjoy companion animals, and to enhance society¡¯s knowledge about companion animals through research and education. Teachers in grades Pre-K through 6 can obtain a grant or coupon for the purchase of new pets, pet environments or pet food and supplies for existing classroom pets. HOW TO APPLY.
