Members of the Science National Honor Society at Sussex Academy held a donut sale during lunch Dec. 19 to raise funds for projects at the elementary campus and to purchase honors cords for graduating seniors.
Chapter members plan to create a science lesson at the elementary campus that aligns with topics students are learning about in class.
“We design our own lesson plan, warm-up, learning activities and review to ensure we actually teach the class valuable information,” said Alex DeEmedio, SNHS member. “Last year, we did a lesson on biotic versus abiotic factors.”
Money raised from the fundraiser will go toward resources for this year’s lesson, specifically items for a learning activity, DeEmedio said.
“Last year, the elementary students all planted flower seeds,” she said. “We want to again create something they can bring home as well as an activity that could involve snacks as an incentive.”
The SNHS also has its own specific cords graduating seniors may wear with their caps and gowns at Sussex Academy’s graduation ceremony.
“We want to honor the seniors in our chapter by being able to purchase cords for all of them to show off all of their contributions,” DeEmedio said.
