"I had the privilege of mentoring a young friend of mine, Claire Russell, on her 8th grade project. At Claire’s school, all 8th graders complete a project of their choice and present it to the entire school community at the end of the school year. Most of the kids learn a new skill or make something. Many have built furniture, created art, written books, or learned a craft like mime or welding. Claire chose to do something different.

A huge animal lover and the foster mom of dozens of kittens, Claire chose to teach the school community about pet overpopulation."
