who is harold?
Harold the Giraffe is the mascot of Life Education. He works in the mobile classroom with the educator to demonstrate what happens when things go according to plan and what happens when they don’t. Harold is a friendly character, and children’s responses show that Harold has a huge impact in re-enforcing the messages we teach: Giraffes are tall. We teach children to stand tall and be proud of who they are. The pattern on a giraffe’s skin is unique, like a fingerprint. We teach children that they, too, are unique and special. Giraffes have big hearts. We teach children to be kind to others. Giraffes have long necks. We teach children to be prepared to stick their necks out and support their friends.

finishers medal for everyone!
