A gift from the 1950s
Fourteen past students of the Staceyville Primary School in Sandy River, Clarendon recently came together to help their school. The 14, residing in Jamaica, the United States and the United Kingdom, all attended Staceyville Primary School in the 1950s. They joined forces recently to donate a multimedia projector and projection screen to their alma mater. They say it’s the beginning of efforts to assist the institution.
