Letter from the Headmaster (continued) (Continued from page 1) what they believed was a reasonable, yet generous amount that they believed Seabury could raise. I was stunned when the committee said they wanted to raise $10,000 and we were going to raise it by February 17. I had never seen this level of fundraising achieved at the student level in a school our size. Actually, I was not certain that it was possible. I must admit, I love to be proven wrong by young people, when the cause is appropriate. As I write this letter, we are only one week into the fundraising effort and we have already reached the $8,200 mark. I have no doubt that we will reach the final goal long before the deadline. You, the parents of these young people, should be very proud. You have instilled some wonderful values in your children that demonstrate a sense of altruism and an understanding that the world’s problems are our problems. We are very proud of our students’ involvement in the community in other ways as well. Their commitment to the welfare of others extends well beyond the basic requirement that is part of the Seabury curriculum. They have created service-oriented programs that are not just about raising money, but also require a commitment of time. The “Kids Helping Kids” program continues to provide tutoring services for the homeless. The “Dancing Palette” program provides an art experience for the developmentally handicapped. The Interact Club works with the Terry Fox Run and the “Relay for Life” for the American Cancer Society. The Philosophy Club sponsors a program for feeding the homeless on Friday afternoons. Our students have held rummage sales so that gifts can be bought for the Headstart Program children in Makawao, and they have held very successful food drives for the Maui Food Bank. I am awed by their desire to make a difference. Juniors Ashley Campbell and Nanette Le are Mrs. Lacanienta’s faithful assistants! The final statement in our mission is that we should “cause young people to realize their responsibility to community.” “Realize” certainly means understand, but Nanette’s younger brother, seventh-grader Ryan, gives a “thumbs up” to their successful experiments with the “slime” they also created! it also means to “make real.” The word was chosen specifically for that purpose and I am pleased that we are fulfilling this portion of our mission with such enthusiasm and success. Regarding the first statement of our mission, “college preparatory,” I am pleased to announce that our seniors continue to garner college acceptances at an amazing level. Three-quarters of our senior students have received their college acceptances. Almost one-half of those students have received merit scholarships. The colleges that students have been accepted to include Yale, New York University, Dartmouth, Scripps, Loyola Marymount, Trinity College, Emerson College, University of San Diego, Santa Clara University, University of San Francisco, University of Colorado (Boulder), Willamette University, California Polytechnic Institute (San Luis Osbispo), Lewis & Clark College, Colorado State University, University of the Pacific, Whittier College, University of Redlands, Hawaii Pacific University, University of New Hampshire, Weber State University, Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), University of Hawaii (Manoa), University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), University of Portland, Montana State University, University of Oregon, Westmont College, Hawaii Pacific University, and Chaminade University. We congratulate all of those students who have received their acceptances and those who will be receiving them. In conclusion, we look forward to working with our fine students during this second semester and to sharing in all of their success. We also look forward to the completion of the ambitious Capital Campaign. We have reached 93% of the goal. Our building plan is still on time and on budget. Finally, we will match our facilities with our outstanding program and faculty. Sincerely, Joseph J. Schmidt, Headmaster Page 10 SEABURY HALL MONTHLY NEWS
