As a volunteer at the WAHS and a teacher at Wylandville Elementary, I would like to personally thank Mr. Thompson and the Zootoo Staff for taking the time to share your vision with the students and teachers at our school. Everyone, including the students, teachers, custodians, families, and even the lunch staff, were thrilled to take part in helping the WAHS achieve a once in a life time opportunity. No matter who wins the final contest, we are all winners because of you. Not only has the WAHS gained a tremendous amount of community awareness and support, but our adoptions have increased and our volunteer list has grown exponentially as well. But most important, we have shown the children of our community that if we work together, we CAN make a difference.

I have a poem, written by Jim Willis. Maybe you have heard it before. In any event, I feel that it is very appropriate to share with you:

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter…
The cast-offs of human society
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry.
“God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly.
“I have done something,” He replied.
“I created You.”

Thank you Mr. Thompson for everything that you do!

Susan R.
