Ladyville school gets new classrooms

It’s a story we’ve told a dozen times but at least there’s always a happy ending. Today the Ladyville Evangelical Primary School officially opened two much needed new classrooms to accommodate their growing body of students. On hand for the ceremonies was Belize Rural Central Representative Ralph Fonseca who had the honour of cutting the ribbon. Principal of the school, Joslyn Gill says cramped classrooms will now be a thing of the past.

“Basically we have quite a good thing here. The only thing that kind of annoys us often is the traffic that passes here. But otherwise, take away the crowdedness and everything and we have good things here.”

“Now that you have your two new classrooms, all the students will be able to get into a well spaced learning environment?”

“I believe so. Well that’s what we’re looking at and we hope to get it that way because this is coming on to the end of the school year and the beginning of the new one will soon be here. We got to, parents will be bringing their children so we got to decide whether we can take them or not because we don’t want to cause an over crowdedness again.”

The two classroom building was funded entirely by the Government of Belize.
