GCHE Events & Activities

with a delightful group of students at Create Your Dreams.

GCHE is fortunate to receive copies of Maddie's Tail Wag,
thanks to the generosity of Maddie's Fund
Maddie's Tail Wag is a collection of activities and coloring pages for animal lovers six-years-old and under - although older school children can enjoy them, too! The fun and educational pages are intended to help children develop skills necessary for entrance into kindergarten.
GCHE has distributed copies of MTW to young children around the metro
Atlanta area. See our FB page for photos from our outreach events.
We recently asked two of our favorite animal lovers,
Dalton & Ethan Siggers,
check out the booklet for us.
They gave Maddie's Tail Wag a positive review!
These wonderful photos were provided by
