Trinidad Read for the Record Day, October 4, 2012.
Bridge Foundation sponsored Trinidad schools to join Jumpstart Read for
the Record Day, October 4th 2012. The spotlight was cast on children in
over seventy-eight (78) schools reading the same book “Ladybug Girl and
the Bug Squad” on the same day along with other children around the world
to celebrate and promote the importance of reading.
This year, the Read for the Record Day kicked off from Monday 1st October
at Tranquillity Government Primary School and Arbor School mirroring
Jumpstart Read for the Record week launched nationally. In Trinidad, the
Read for the Record week also brought into focus Newtown Girl’s R.C.
School, Nelson Street Boy’s R.C. School and St. Agnes Anglican Primary (all
shown above). The Read for the Record week personified literacy and the
importance of reading through our Bridge Foundation Ambassadors and
celebrity readers: Brenda James, TT Pro-League Footballers Dexter Alleyne
and Anton Hutchinson of Police F.C. also celebrity readers Wendell
ManWarren, Natacha Jones, Penelope Spencer, Mikhail Salcedo, Omar
Lewis, Ingrid Jahra, John Borely, Liz Gardner and Andy Campbell, all of
whom shared their time and motivational words with students. All creatively
expressed that reading can develop student’s minds, imagination and
creativity.
