This picture was taken before Hurricane Melissa. Today, our classroom looks very different — fewer desks, fewer supplies — but our commitment to rebuilding is stronger than ever.
Our children have lived through a disaster, and each one carries a unique story. As we return to school on Monday, our first priority is to create a gentle, supportive transition back into learning. We’re making space for students to share their experiences, process their emotions, and feel seen and heard.
Many will continue to face challenges at home. For six hours each day, we have the privilege of offering them stability: a place to reconnect with teachers and friends, to rebuild routines, and to grow socially, emotionally, and academically.
Resilience is the backbone of the Jamaican people. We learn resilience early.
