Congratulations To Our Winners
Two young students share top honors in Project HumaneKind’s first Writers of Compassion competition: Nick Hartwig, an eighth grader at Hillview Middle School in Menlo Park, and Emmaline Lee, a seventh grader at Greene Middle School in Palo Alto. Middle school students were asked to write about how animals and people help each other, and our winners responded with stories of compassionate acts of rescue. Nick writes in the Heart of Willow Park: “Kindness is not just an action but a crucial thread that weaves individuals together, creating a cloth of support that uplifts everyone.” In The Story of Riley and Baxter, Emmaline describes a rescue of a shelter puppy and the help that gesture gave her protagonist: “Neither of them was perfect. But they weren’t alone. And that made all the difference.”
