Karley Gregory and Tabatha Sylvester and Emily Cain in the background are working on cutting their patterns for a new purse.

On Fridays, at Seadrift School, all 6th and 7th graders get to have a club day during their Pirate time class.  Many club choices are offered for the students to select from.  Some examples of clubs this semester that are offered include chess club, needlepoint, theatre arts, nail painting, purses and accessories, and TV station.  In the past, cake decorating and quilting have been offered.  These clubs have given the students many opportunities to experience new and exciting skills that they may otherwise not be exposed to. This has proven to be a successful program for Seadrift School.
