PHILIPSBURG – “Education is dear to me and assisting our students with the tools needed to achieve success is important,” remarked Miss Mature Carnival Queen 2016 Norrisa Anatol.
Last Thursday, August 11, Yomarie Hodge in the presence of his parents and Principal Stuart Johnson was presented with his school uniform and a backpack filled with school supplies for the school year 2016-2017.
He is a Cycle 1 Year 4 student at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Primary School located in the district of Dutch Quarter. Hodge was very grateful to receive his school supplies and promised to take good care of them.
