      Brain Tree Online Interview

The Shipley School has a longstanding relationship with our sister school, the Brain Tree School in Uganda.  Each year, we engage students in this relationship and encourage participation in events whose proceeds benefit the Brain Tree School.  

In the video above, two Upper School students on the Service Committee interview Martha Mukasa, the Head Mistress, a teacher, and a few of the children at the Brain Tree School.  

Shipley sponsors many activities to which the proceeds benefit the Brain Tree School. Examples include the Lower School Walkathon, Spirit Dress Days, corn hole tournaments, and carnival games at Super Saturday.
