Let’s read and play

Let’s read and play

SAGICOR Foundation, through its Adopt-A-School programme, recently handed over newly renovated facilities to two of three early childhood institutions that it adopted and upgraded for the 2021/2022 academic year. The recipients, Bermaddy Basic School in Linstead, St Catherine, and John Anglin Basic School in Warsop, Trelawny, received renovations that allowed them to have more classrooms, administrative offices, better restroom facilities, safe and fun play areas, and more beautiful and colourful surroundings.

From the excited looks on the faces of these little ones who were happy to be a part of the official handing over ceremony, they are surely pleased with the new developments!

Mason Menzie of Bermaddy Basic School is happy to receive his goodie bag from Fabian Gordon, Sagicor Life advisor.
