Principal Errol Bascoe told RJR News that repairs were progressing well despite the inclement weather. He estimated that about 400 persons from several parishes and institutions have come to assist the school.    

Maggotty Police Station
 
Meanwhjile, several organizations, led by the St. Elizabeth Parish Council, have started repairs to the Maggotty Police Station. The 100 year old station is the parish project for Labour Day.  
    
Mayor Everton Fisher, Chairman of  the Council, declared that the conditions under which the police work are less than satisfactory. He said, despite the work being done, more is needed to significantly improve conditions at the station.
