Great Fundraiser for Maymont Animals

WHES students, faculty and staff successfull raised $170.00 for the "Adopt an Animal" program at Maymont. The appreciation program was great! Students were allowed to rub a real baby alligator and corn snake.

From chickens and goats to American bald eagles, black bears and river otters...more than 400 animals call Maymont “home.” They are not just residents of Maymont; their animals are integral members of their Environmental Education team. Thanks to them, more than 34,000 area school children encounter nature up close and personal in Maymont's school programs each year. Maymont’s animals depend on people like Westover Hill students to help feed and care for them at a cost of $500,000 a year. You can directly support the care of Maymont’s finned, feathered and furry “educators” with a tax-deductible gift to their Adopt An Animal program. It is a unique way to help Maymont, and a fun way to create a special bond with one of their animals.
