Something Extra | Saturday

On Thursday, May 14, the cool hills of St Andrew set the perfect backdrop for the third staging of the Spring Soirée for Education, hosted by New Forest High School Chairman Trisha Williams-Singh. The event brought together members of the school community and supporters committed to raising funds for the Eva May-Wright Auditorium project, while reinforcing a shared mission to expand opportunities for rural students. Guests also enjoyed produce from the school’s farm, along with dishes prepared by Chef Orren Bartley of Alligator Pond, Manchester. Something Extra has the social highlights.
