Maracas Presbyterian students walk to ‘Build a Brighter Community’

Students and teachers worked together to highlight the values of prayer, love, peace, forgiveness, no violence, respect and responsibility. The walk, which was held last Friday, began at 9.15 am, under the supervision of the police, from the school’s compound and proceeded along the Maracas Royal Road to the Maracas savannah. As the walk commenced, Emmanuel Sooklal, retired principal and CAC monitor, highlighted the school’s aims and objectives for a successful walkathon.

At the conclusion of the walk, which lasted close to 50 minutes, participants joined with each other at the savannah in a time of fun and relaxation before making the trek back to the school.

Upon their return, students, parents and teachers were treated to refreshments donated by members of staff and the Maracas Presbyterian Church. The Principal Daniel Motilal thanked all those who supported the walkathon with the intention to instil the values which would serve to “Build a Brighter Community.”
