The Brisenia Flores Memorial Award honors the young life of Brisenia Flores by offering to intermediate grade children the opportunity to display and share their creative ideas around the care and responsible treatment of companion and farmed animals. Students have the opportunity to promote kindness and compassion towards animals through creative writing, poetry, art, and music.
For those who knew Brisenia, she had a unwavering love for animals and a passion for life. Brisenia was a joyful young girl who loved everyone she met. According to SWIVL Executive Director, Dr. Kathleen Wishinick, the Brisenia Flores Memorial Award will help students become more responsible and self-reliant by experiencing firsthand the love and friendship they can have with a companion or farmed animal. SWIVL hopes the memory of Brisenia Flores will help children connect their hearts and minds as they dream of a life filled with hope, possibility and most of all compassion.
In honor of Brisenia , LD 25 House of Representative Member, the Honorable Pat Fleming will present awards to students on March 11, 2010 at Sopori School.
All winners, parents/guardians, and teachers are invited to attend a celebration party at SWIVL on Sunday, March 28, 2010 from 2-4 p.m.
