Alumni Donate JETS Winnings Back to Harker
After adding luster to the Harker reputation, the winning 2009 Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) competition team has gone above and beyond the call of duty, donating their winnings, $3,451.96, to Harker’s Annual Giving fund. The selfless gift means even more, as all team members are now graduates. The Senior Mix Team members, Hanh Dang, Daniel Kim, Tsung-Ju (Jeff) Lu, Jeff Mandell, Nikita Sinha, Kartik Venkatraman, Kevin Wang, Kevin Xu, all class of 2009, were advised by Anthony Silk, mathamatics teacher. The team won a trip to Disneyworld along with the cash, and, “we all thought that we should donate back to the school that gave us this victory,” said Sinha. “We figured it would be best spent as a donation (and) specified that the money would be used for scholarships for entering students.”
