“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Aesop

The SPCA Serving Erie County’s 2014 Humane Poster and Creative Writing Contest is looking for firstthrough eighth grade students to participate in this year’s annual contest.

This year we are exploring the idea that every living thing has an imaginary bucket that can befilled or emptied based on our interactions with them. We face a choice every moment of everyday: we can fill one another’s bucket with kindness or we can empty them with cruelty. It is aprofound choice that influences our relationships, productivity, health, and happiness. Based on thebook, How Full is Your Bucket?* by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D., we are promoting this ideaand encouraging students to look for ways that they can become “bucket fillers” and improve theircommunity for all living things.

Since 1892, the SPCA’s Humane Education Department has conducted this contest forstudents in Erie County. Participating students have the chance to win prizes by demonstratingtheir creativity to write an essay or illustrate a poster to educate others about being kind and“filling the bucket of others.” We also have the Ambassador of Kindness and Humane Educator ofthe Year Awards which are great ways for teachers to celebrate the work of their colleagues andhonor the humane work of their students.

Lucy Lord, the founder of the Humane Education Department at the SPCA, created thecontest to promote kindness to all living things. The contest has been passed down forgenerations. Judy Silver, a great, great, granddaughter of Lucy Lord, administered the contestuntil 2001. Even today, ancestors of Lucy Lord participate and support this program for thestudents, teachers, and families throughout Erie County. This contest has been a family traditionfor years and is a piece of treasured SPCA history.
