Miss Adams (teacher), students Angelique Russel and Harlin Javier along with Rotarian Natasha Parchment-Clarke pose with posters and coin-drive collection jugs as they charter their EarlyAct Club at the Naz Children’s Centre in Montego Bay In the heat of back-to-school excitement, the students of NAZ Children’s Centre had something else to celebrate – the formation of an EarlyAct Club at their school, making a total of 5 clubs in Montego Bay .
On Tuesday the 8th of September, 2009 Rotarian Natasha Parchment-Clarke was on hand as the students were selected for positions including President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of their twice monthly after-school club that promotes “service above self” just like its sponsoring club The Rotary Club of Montego Bay.
The students were all the more thrilled to be a part of their first official ‘local community’ event, a Coin-Drive to collect money for Norwood Basic School, starting on 19 Sep and culminating in a family beach day at the newly-opened Cornwall Beach on 25 Oct.
Naz Children’s Centre is one of the 5 host schools that have an EarlyAct Club including Liceo Montessori, Greenwood Preparatory, Montego Bay Christian Academy and Montego Bay Preparatory and within the first week of school, another school has jumped on the Coin-Drive bus – namely Edwards Prep.
Exclaimed an involved parent from Edwards Prep, Sophie Alexandropolous: “This is a great project for my children and their school to be involved in – meaningful, yet fun. We are busy filling our jugs with coins and hope to win the competition, get our figure matched for the benefit of Norwood Basic and enjoy the 50 free entry tickets Cornwall Beach is giving away!”
