Seabury Hall Parent Organization
SEABURY HALL PARENT ORGANIZATION
Seabury Hall is successful thanks in part to a wonderful parent body that supports the school with its time, talent and treasure. Whether it's through volunteering at school functions, attending performances and athletic events, or participating in fundraising activities, parents of students and alumni are a vital part of the Seabury Hall community.
Our parent support group is called The Seabury Hall Parent Organization (SHPO) and every parent is a member. The mission of SHPO is to support the school in accomplishing its goals. SHPO encourages parent involvement through volunteer opportunities such as being an athletic team parent, building sets and sewing costumes for performing arts, or participating in career or community service days. SHPO sponsors fundraising activities like the annual Craft Fair that enlists the help of over 700 parent volunteers. SHPO promotes effective parenting through regular workshops and seminars like "Parent Education Nights". And SHPO acts in an advisory capacity through regular communication with the administrative team.
