CIBC Caribbean’s Read Across Jamaica Day celebration brought stories to life in four local schools – New Hope Preparatory, Carberry Court Special School, St. Francis Primary and Infant School, and Tarrant Primary School.
CIBC Caribbean’s team members stepped into the role of storytellers, reading to students and sharing in the joy of discovery.
As the staff turned the pages, they witnessed sparks of imagination and a love for reading that will stay with these young minds long after the stories ended. Through this initiative, we’re not just promoting literacy – we’re investing in the future of our community, one page at a time.
Here are highlights of the day:
