The Anguilla Statistics Department has awarded a number of students at the Albena Lake-Hodge Comprehensive School for their participation and level of work in the Department’s fifth annual poetry competition.
The event was part of the 2013 Anguilla Statistics Week of activities. The competition was opened, on September 27, to the students at the Comprehensive School and closed on October 11. The students were asked to make submissions under the theme: “Statistics in Every Life – Let us Educate and Appreciate.”
There were fifteen entries. The eventual winners were Zipporah Bannister (first prize); Gesel Hodge (second prize) and Ariana Woodley (third prize).
The students, whose poetic work qualified them for notable mention, were: Shaunda Richardson, Coleen Johnson, Stassia Richardson, RemeshaMinette and Danecia Hodge.
The Anguilla Statistics Department has expressed thanks to all the participants as well as the teachers and parents who encouraged them in the poetry competition. The Department is also grateful to the judges – Bernard Wattley, AntheaIpinson, Michal Romney, Sanford Richardson and Keithstone Greaves – for so ably completing the task assigned to them in a timely manner.
