Zimbabwe

The Serpents had a special visitor, the cousin of three Seabury students who is visiting from Zimbabwe. Nadia told the Serpents about her country's political struggles, the amazing sights and the animals like baboons that wander through her yard. It was fascinating and the Serpents learned a lot about a different continent and way of life.

Our Ladybug Friends

The Serpents were asked to help the Ladybugs with their writing. The Serpents helped them spell and write a story then they had a little time to check out the room and relive the days when a classroom had a whole lot of toys! The Serpents and Ladybugs had a great time getting to know one another.

Red Cross Visitor

The Serpents had a visit from the local Red Cross representative Becky Fontaine to present a check for the money they raised at last week's bake sale and cocoa stand. Ms. Fontaine told them about the ways their donation of $752 could help including buying emergency kits for families that include cooking and camping supplies or water containers so families can get fresh water. It will be a long time for the Philippines to rebuild from the typhoon but we're super proud of the Serpents efforts to help!

Bake Sale for the Philippines

The entire Seabury community was incredibly generous in helping the Serpents with their fundraiser for the Philippines! We got so many baked items and everyone brought in change, dollars and even fifty dollar bills! We counted all the donations and came up with around $752 which we will present to the Red Cross at next Friday's Gathering. Thanks so much for your support of this amazing community service project!
