Orange County’s ONLY School Farmyard!

Helping out at the Critter Corner benefits families in so many ways from social emotional learning to biology and life skills. It has been in operation for 30+ years and is 100% parent run. Bring the kids to get to know our furry and feathery friends at one of these family-friendly orientations:

Make History and Help Rebuild the Critter Corner!

For 30 years the Critter Corner has been run by Seahawk families and is the only school in the county with such a unique learning opportunity. The Critter Corner is synonymous with Seawell's identity, and a reason why families come and stay at the school. Caring for the Critters provides so many benefits including practical life skills, increased confidence, and sensory & emotional support. 

Now it’s our turn to roll up our sleeves and not only keep the Critter Corner alive but make it a truly special place! History is in the making! The relocation of the Critter Corner is complete, but unfortunately CHCCS District funds were only able to provide for the basic structure. This leaves many necessary projects in the hands of our PTA and volunteer team.  


Projects include:

We need your help to make the Critter Corner a safe and engaging space for the critters and our students. Please make a tax-deductible donation or contribute to the Wishlist now!

The Critter Corner is completely supported by parent volunteers and funded by the PTA. Families are welcome to care for the animals by selecting a time that works for them, any day of the year, AM or PM shift. Shifts are totally flexible, just sign up for slots that work for you. Take a look at the sign-up calendar below to understand how volunteering works. **Note for first time volunteers: contact the Critter Corner coordinator at Seawellcrittercorner@gmail.com for orientation and training.
