 A. I. DuPont High School, National Honor Society helps Zoo
We would like to thank the National Honor Society (NHS) of A.I. DuPont High School of Greenville, Delaware. Through the participation of the entire group of 50 they fundraised $1000 for the Adopt an Animal Program and adopted the tiger. They chose the tiger because the tiger is their school mascot.
Through the leadership of Adam Sorantino (the Adopt-a-Tiger Chairman), Alex Keegan (the NHS Treasurer), and William Leet (the A.I. DuPont High School NHS President) the group organized candy sales, hot chocolate sales, and donations. Their leading salesperson was Elvio Diaz who sold over 100 candy bars for the fundraiser.
With Will's assistance, the NHS has participated in other projects at the Brandywine Zoo also including the Zoo's Back To School Days event in which they assisted in face painting, the scavenger hunt, and educational stations. The NHS also helped with fall leaf clean up in conjunction with the A. I. DuPont Environmental Action Club at the zoo.
Thank you for all of your help at the zoo and your generous donation.
