Entertainers Nikita, Anderson MrBlood Armstrong and Adrian Green all went back to the classroom yesterday.
They didn’t go to sing their ABCs, but to read books to scores of children at St Luke’s Brighton Primary as a part of Scotiabank’s I Read For Fun literacy project.
The bank’s initiative got a kick-start yesterday at the St George school. Thanks to Astrape Finance and non-profit organisation Hands Across the Sea, Scotiabank was able to donate books, bookshelves, carpeting, posters and fans for the students’ comfort.
Gordon Walters, St Philip, St Matthew’s, Half Moon Fort and Bayley’s primary schools also benefited from the 1 800 books donated. Each school received 300.
Scotiabank’s marketing manager Keisha Humphrey thanked the entertainers who she said quickly accepted the invitation and brought excitement to the children as they read. (TG)
