Seminary Lower School students help orphanage

Wyoming Seminary Lower School students recently supported a fund drive to benefit the St. John Bosco Orphanage and Academy in Plaisance, Guyana. Students on the school's White Team organized a Fall Sports Play Day and invited members of the field hockey, soccer and cross-country teams to play each other in cross-over games. Nearly 80 students took part in the event. The White Team raised $300 in player and spectator donations, enough to pay for the annual tuition for one boy to attend the academy, a school for grades nursery through sixth grade.
