No More Teachers, No More Books...

This week the 1800 students of Saint Mary's and Missions began their summer holiday. In Jamaica the school year begins on September 4 and concludes July 6.

Thanks to our benefactors, especially our friends from Saint Joan of Arc Parish in Aberdeen Maryland, we were able to offer assistance to those students who needed extra help/attention. Through our Cupertino Program, students received help with their homework and developed reading skills. The Program was a great success! Many students who failed all their classes last year could boast of passing every class this school year!
