Let's STOP the Hicks Elementary School puppy auction!

[Guest guest]

Please call or e-mail to halt the auction

of a puppy by Tom Hicks Elementary

School in Frisco. Here’s a link to the Hicks PTA newsletter

boasting about the auction: http://www.lisd.net/schools/hicks/Howler_Oct08.pdf

 

 

Let’s contact Lewisville ISD, the Lewisville ISD Council

of PTAs, and the principal and auction chairs at Hicks Elementary

School to POLITELY point

out that auctioning a puppy is an insensitive and inhumane thing to do. Some

people will be encouraged to bid on the puppy to support the school district,

even if they are not proper guardians or otherwise wouldn’t want a puppy.

This also encourages buying rather than adopting animals, even while the Lewisville shelter

kills animals every day.

 

Let’s encourage them instead to auction a donation

in the name of Hicks Elementary

School to the Humane Society of Lewisville, to support spay/neuter

and other programs. The district can make a powerful positive statement about

responsible animal protection to its students, staff, and parents while

supporting the local humane society.

principal Ann Beckel:

Chair) - melissachaiken

Here is the contact information for Lewisville ISD:

The president of the Lewisville ISD Council of PTAs can be

contacted at:

 

Kris Vaughn

President, LISD

Council of PTAs

president

My

suggestion: Send an e-mail with all six addresses in the address line, and call

all three phone numbers. That will multiply the impact of our message. The most

important persons to contact are those at Hicks Elementary – I suspect

the LISD and Council of PTAs will say it’s their call. If you live in the

LISD PLEASE mention that in your

e-mails and calls.

 

Thanks to Mary Steffenhagen for the heads up. Remember, POLITENESS wins

the day!

 

Please post or send to me any replies you

get, so we can follow up appropriately. Thanks.

 

John J. Pippin, M.D.
