Today was an exciting day in the Virgin Islands as we celebrated reading in the our territory. I participated in our Book Parade today and it was a joy being part of the activities. Students from various schools participated including Joyce Samuel Primary, Ebenezer Thomas Primary, Elmore Stoutt High School, Enid Scatliffe Pre-Primary School, Pelican Gate School, Willard Wheatley Primary, Francis Lettsome Primary and many others. The Parade started at the Festival Grounds and ended at the Central Administration Complex.
Authors represented included Dr. Richard Georges, Rick Grant, Peggy Clyne, Reuben Vanterpool, Verna Penn-Moll, Patricia Turnbull, Michael Anthony, Donald DeCastro, Ethlyn Rymer, Maureen Peters, Norma Benjamin. Grant, Georges and Vanterpool were able to present a short synopsis of their books to the audience.
Book vendors were also on site showcasing their books. Beacon Bible Bookstore and Karyn's Place sold various children's and other books.
Read, encourage others to read and share the importance of reading.
