• Kindergarteners Jog for Chumbageni

  Since 2005, Key School has partnered with Chumbageni School in Tanga, Tanzania and Somers Park School in Malvern, England to connect students across three continents, providing multiple lenses through which to see, and better understand, themselves and the world. One aspect of this partnership, called Chums, has been service learning. Over the past few years students in the Pre, Lower, Middle and Upper Schools have participated in projects to help fund the building of a much needed new classroom for Chumbageni’s Kindergarten students. Click to see a gallery of the building process. Mr. Halifa Bilali, Head Teacher at Chumbageni, has told us that the new Kindergarten classroom is now in need of a table, desks, book shelves, and general school supplies. Our Kindergartners would like to help the Kindergartners at Chumbageni by participating in a fund raising project. Every few days, Key's Kindergarten classes will be taking a jog around the Manse field (about ¼ mile). To raise funds for Chumbageni, they are asking their families to pledge ten cents for each mile the Kindergarten team jogs.
