NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Newport News Public Schools have started distributing free meals to their students as some kids start in-person learning while others are at home under virtual schooling.
Starting Monday, the school division will give out meals twice a day at various locations throughout Newport News. This is all a part of an updated meal service plan.
Asana Downer (centre), principal of Silverstone Basic School; and Patricia Smith, Vice Principal of the school, receive a cheque of $500,000 from Dennis Beckford, accountant at the Desnoes and Geddes Foundation.
It has almost been a year since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Jamaican shores, and scores of schools are still trying to establish a ‘new normal.’
The administration of the Portmore-based Silverstone Basic School is among educators now navigating challenges in the transition to virtual education, plus a lack of resources to resume physical teaching.
Catering to 270 students between the ages of two and five years old, it was important that the school acquired the necessary infrastructure to ensure that no child is left behind.
