News from the Portuguese Club at Seekonk High School

The Portuguese Club at Seekonk High School has had one of its most successful years yet. There were many accomplishments and achievements this year including our Fourth Annual Portuguese Club Soccer Tournament, which had a great turnout, more than 15 teams participated from Hurley Middle School and Seekonk High School. Students from the Providence College Men's Soccer Team volunteered their time to help referee the soccer games. We also donated all of our proceeds from the tournament a total of $440.00 to the victims of the recent cyclones in Mozambique. Other accomplishments included a school wide coffee drive donating all the coffee to Doorways Food Pantry in Seekonk. This year we also created a presentation on the impact of Portuguese Culture past, present, and future in America for the National Portuguese Language Day which was hosted at Bristol Community College in Fall River. The Portuguese Club hopes to continue this legacy for future years to come. Our club would also like to kindly thank Senhora Professora Lisa Andrade Almeida for all that she has done for the club and her outstanding commitment and dedication to the Portuguese Language.
