Police spread Easter cheer at Jubilee Town Primary sports day

A modest donation of bun and cheese by police personnel from the Guy’s Hill Police Station in St Catherine brought lasting smiles to students of Jubilee Town Primary School on Wednesday.

The occasion coincided with the school’s sports day, and the gesture served as a welcome sweetener to the day’s physical exertions. Officers, led by Sergeant Kenneth McTavish, carried trays through the grounds, serving students bun and cheese alongside cold beverages.

For many of the children, the gesture added a touch of Easter festivity to the event.

This marks the third consecutive year that the police have extended such support, an initiative aimed at fostering trust and strengthening community ties.

“We decided that if we invest in the youth then it is a great investment, which proves to be encouraging to see the appreciation on the faces of the students,” said Corporal Chevon McKoy.

The school’s principal, Lilieth Murphy-Gordon, endorsed the collaboration as “true community spirit” and described it as a meaningful contribution to nation-building.

Community members also expressed appreciation for the gesture, commending the police for their investment in the well-being of children.

“We are very pleased with the continued support of the police, by way of their patrol and overall relationship with school and community,” said Justice of the Peace Lynworth Brown.
