Meeting Mooey, the live chicken, and hearing her story as a victim, who becomes a bully, leaves a memorable message of empathy that students of all ages relate to. They relate to the importance of students and staff being connected, accepted and respected.
Students from kindergarten to high school feel compassion for Mooey, and for Susan's story about being a target during seventh to eleventh grades because she looked different from everyone else.
Mooey, the star of the show, opens hearts and minds in a way that only animals can, and raises awareness about empathy. Most students say that Mooey is the most popular aspect of the program.
