This year, "On All Fours" students practiced civic engagement while working to improve the plight of helpless animals. The students of Holt High School and 10 of their University of Alabama mentors wrote a bill and traveled to Montgomery to appeal to the House Judiciary Committee for passage. The bill, HB 524, designed to protect animals in hot cars and the citizens who help them, received unanimous favorable recommendation.
