Joy at Joy Preparatory Academy!

Last week some of our staff visited Joy Preparatory Academy in Detroit, Michigan to deliver reptile books and magazines to the school! The children there love reptiles and are excited to read about some of their favorite animals. Their passion for these animals is definitely thanks to the work of Ms. Angela Bowen, the Middle School science teacher, whose passion for wildlife has shaped these children's appreciation for animals! We'd also like to give a thanks to Mrs. Jessica Rice, the principal, who helped set up the date, greeted us at the door, and eased our load carrying magazines by calling the eighth graders to help us out!

One of our missions is to educate children about wildlife and inspire them to be active stewards of the Earth. It was great seeing not only the middle school students reading the magazines but the kindergarten students flipping through the pages! While the kindergartners may not be able to read more than a few words now, we hope the magazines drive the children to want to read and ask elders to read the passages for them.

Work like this always makes us feel good to make a difference in not only animal lives, but human lives as well. We love to give back to our communities. Seeing the smiles on the children's faces is what makes all our hard work and efforts worthwhile. This is what life is all about and we are proud that this is what our company, REPCO, represents.
