SEED Celebration of Africa Week
January 17-18, 2007
Dear Staff, Parents, Family Members and SEED Community;
Two very special events are taking place at The SEED School. On Wednesday January 17th, 2007, the MS2 eighth grade community will be hosting the 1st SEED Celebration of Africa Fair. This celebration will highlight our student’s work exploring, mapping, and learning about the complexities and treasures of the African continent and a particular African nation. Joining our student presentations will be a short film by SEED students who traveled last summer in Ethiopia as part of the LearnServe Ethiopia Project. A participation-based show by the Malcolm X African Drummers and Dancers will also be part of this special event. Please mark the date and arrive promptly by 4:30 so you can visit all of our student presentations. A 1$ suggested entrance fee will raise money for Ethiopia Reads, which builds libraries for students in the capital city of Addis Ababa, and whom SEED Students will be working with in the LearnServe Program.
What: 1st SEED Celebration of Africa Fair
When: Wednesday January 17, 2007
Time: 4:30-6:15pm
Where: SEED Gymnasium
On Thursday January 18th at 9:00, Jon Dau, a former Sudanese refugee and star of the new film, God Grew Tired of Us, will be visiting SEED to show his film and meet our MS2 students. Mr. Dau’s story is the feature article in January’s National Geographic Magazine. The article is written by him and shares his struggles in his former homeland. I highly recommend you read this amazing story, as it will draw you to want to see his film and meet him in person during his SEED visit.
