The Seed Foundation

The SEED Foundation is a national nonprofit that establishes urban public boarding schools to prepare students from underserved communities for success in college. The SEED Foundation is a catalyst for change in urban education: it developed the SEED boarding school model and opened its first school, The SEED School of Washington, D.C., in 1998. The SEED Foundation is opening its second school in Maryland in September 2008. SEEDs innovative model integrates a rigorous academic program with a nurturing boarding program, which teaches life skills and provides a safe and secure environment. This boarding school model provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges facing urban youth and serves as a prototype for expansion nationwide. SEEDs model has proven successful: 97 percent of SEED graduates have been accepted to college and 85 percent of alumni are on track to graduate from college.

Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development (SEED)
www.seedschools.com

Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development (SEED) is a global non-profit education program that serves students aged 10-18. SEED has grown out of the spirit of goodwill and close ties between Schlumberger people and the communities where they live and work. SEED began in 1998 as a way for Schlumberger employees, spouses and retirees to share their time, experience and passion for learning and science through a variety of volunteer activities with younger generations of learners. Moms have been right all along in encouraging us to eat our vegetables. Fruits and vegetables add a variety of colors, textures, shapes and flavors to menus. They are naturally cholesterol-free, low in fat and calories and high in fiber, vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals ("plant chemicals"). Nutrition experts suggest we aim for at least five to nine total servings of fruits and vegetables daily, depending on our age and gender. Eating five servings a day meets the recommendations for children ages 2 to 6, although their serving sizes are about one-third smaller. Children ages 7 and older and women should aim for seven servings a day, and teen boys and men should aim for nine servings a day. .
