Even in these uncertain economic times, Ross Sterling High students who
participate in the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Program
have once again defeated adversity and come through for the animals!

They are ingenious in their methods of collecting pet food for homeless
animals, and in raising much-needed funds to support the medical needs of
those homeless pets enrolled in Baytown Humane Society's Foster Home Program.
We so very much appreciate the continued support of these exemplary students
who are learning valuable principles that can be applied to all areas of their
lives from now into the future. Through this AVID Project, they are
witnessing how each of them personally can make a difference, and
collectively have a major impact on a project.
Along the way we hope they are learning a bit of the harsh reality of what
homeless pets suffer without help from humans, and that this knowledge
will encourage them to respect and be kind to animal-life in total. It's
amazing what one good heart can accomplish for another when there is the
desire to do it.

Thanks to the hard work by AVID students, BHS volunteers get a helping hand in
our hard work! The food gifts were distributed to animals in need in our
Program, and also to some Meals-On-Wheels recipients whose pets needed
food. The financial gift of $622.43 will help defray the vet charges for
medical attention needed by animals already in our program as well as those to
come.
AVID! Your support is very important, and we at Baytown Humane Society and
all the animals you have helped this year and in years past send a big
"Thank You"
in unison!
