Circle of Friends urges spay/neuter surgeries It is National Spay/Neuter Awareness Month and everyone is encouraged to do their part to control the pet overpopulation issue. Circle of Friends, a group of Arizona Humane Society donors, is dedicated to reducing the issue of too many pets in the community. The group was started by Arizona Humane Society supporters Heather Greenbaum and Julie Belgrad, who organized donors to raise money specifically for spay/neuter measures. Called The Nifty Fifty in 2007 and later Circle of Friends, these donors have made possible the spay/neuter surgeries of tens of thousands of animals. Circle of Friends is celebrated every year at Compassion with Fashion and with an exclusive spring event.

They use the PAX Good Behavior Game, a strategy that builds self-regula - tion in youths by reinforcing desirable behaviors and inhibiting behaviors that are unwanted. Self-regulation means they have the ability to monitor and manage behaviors based on the demands of a situation and how they fit into the group. Children develop con - trol over their actions and learn how to delay gratification and decrease impul - sivity. One of the ways students obtain positive reinforcement in the game is through Tootles, which are positive notes that let recipients know someone saw their good behavior. They are writ - ten notes of praises or thanks for doing a good job. These notes allow students to focus on observing the good in oth - ers. PAX stands for peace, productivity, health and happiness. Students give Tootles to each other and teachers give them, too.
