Santa’s helpers present themselves in a variety of ways this time of year, and we are always touched by the giving spirit. When the amazing staff of Pretium Partners reached out to Green Chimneys wanting to do something for our children, we asked if they could help us in a different way.

Thanks to the incredible response from our friends at Pretium, we were able to hold a holiday bazaar where our children selected presents to give to their loved ones for the holidays. Not only did Pretium employees provide great gifts for moms, dads, siblings and grandparents, they also included wrapping paper and all the trimmings to beautifully decorate each present. Pretium Partners topped their commitment with a generous donation of $5,000.

“We were truly blown away by the generous response and enthusiasm from the Pretium employees,” states Lauren Bennett, Green Chimneys deputy executive director. “The holidays can be a very stressful time, particularly for our children. But having the opportunity to give gifts to their families is so empowering and important to them. We cannot thank Pretium enough for helping to give a sense of joy and pride to our students.”

Our heartfelt thanks to Pretium for helping our children experience the spirit of giving and for making the season special for everyone.

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
