Fifteen primary school students have been attending the Soroptimist Reading Workshop for the past two weeks. Six of the students will be going to the Albena Lake Hodge Comprehensive School Campus B in September. The purpose of the workshop was to assist students to improve their reading, comprehension and vocabulary skills.
Soroptimist Stella Horsford organised the workshop with the help of several members of the Club – and the Miss Anguilla contestants who assisted on four of the mornings. She urged the students to ask their parents or older siblings to continue to assist them with reading during the holidays. She thanked them for attending and wished them good luck for the next school year. She encouraged them to work hard, behave well, attend School regularly and to be on time.
Jacquie Connor, representing the Education Department, commended the children for attending and for their diligence. She urged them to continue to learn more and to join the library and the special programme there in August.
One of the students spoke on behalf of all the attendees, and thanked the Soroptimists and the Education Department for organising the workshop.
