The spirit of giving is alive and well in St. Joseph, with support being extended to the community’s youth.
Recently, the graduating students of the St. Elizabeth Primary School were presented with a cheque to support them as they transition to secondary school.
The Bursary Award, which will be granted annually, was presented by brothers Anson and Lawrence Eastmond, who currently reside in Toronto and New York respectively.
The award is in honour of their mother Gertrude Eastmond-Welch of Cleavers Hill, who passed away on April 1, 2024, at the age of 95.
Ms. Eastmond-Welch attended the old St. Elizabeth School as a child.
Senior Teacher at the school, Richard Browne, received the cheque on behalf of the students.
