Jumpstart Read for the Record
Day selected book, Bunny Cakes
was the perfect metaphor for
“creativity” and an outlet for
students and teachers to embrace
their version of Trini - Bunny
Cakes.
Throughout Trinidad and Tobago,
students mixed cake in their own
style. Some physically mixed flour
and eggs together and baked their
cakes with the special Caribbean
which arguably can be considered
a Caribbean grandma’s Bunny
Cake. School teachers even
baked cupcakes for their students
as an appreciation for students
giving of themselves every day.
Bridge Foundation on this special
day encouraged schools to share
with students the importance of
creativity and to let students know
that they are the future creators
and innovators of Trinidad and
Tobago and that the spirit of
invention lies within all of them.
Matt, the main character in the
Bunny Cakes book created his own
Bunny Cake with flair and style,
and therefore our children in
Trinidad and Tobago can do the
same. Students will always express
themselves in special ways and schools
are obligated to provide guidance and
the environment to ensure students
produce their best Bunny Cake.
