GAO Fall Update

So what's new?? In the GAO world, lots.

On October 1st we kicked off our Invisible Children fundraising efforts with a visit from the IC crew and a video presentation in the Little Theatre. Since then, we've been working to raise funds for our partner school in Uganda, Anaka Secondary School. James, part of the crew who visited Sehome on October 1st, had been a student at our sister school and had a first-hand perspective on the help we give them.

Right now we're working on our current fundraiser: Brick by Brick. As some of you may have already seen, we're painting a mural on the brick wall in the lounge courtyard. Sehome students purchase a section of the wall (actually two bricks, one on top of another) for $5 and get to paint their name, graduation year, and place a handprint on the section.

Bring your $5 to the lounge any day this week during both lunches. GAO has a table set up. Painting days are TBD and weather dependent... but if you buy a brick we'll make sure you get to paint it!

Support Anaka... show your Sehome spirit... buy your brick!
