Hi Seaholm students and families. First Friday is a way our community celebrates our fabulous Seaholm staff. On the first Friday of every month we hold a drawing and pick 10 or so staff members who win a prize. The prize is usually a gift card or gift donation in the amount of the 25$ range. Our goal is for all our staff to be recognized once during the school year. Please consider donating- see sign up link below. Please reach out to Emily Johnson ( 404-312-8934) if you have any questions. Thank you!
