The Potters Primary School is the recipient of a new classroom handed over during a ceremony earlier this week.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The school took on this project as part of the Grade Six (6) Students` Social Studies School Based Assessment (SBA) and the new building was made possible through Fund-raisers held by the school and donations.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary Representative for St. George,\u00a0 Dean Jonas, said that such a project meant a lot to him as he too attended the Potters Primary School.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Minister Jonas said that he was also very impressed with how intrigued and hands- on the students and teachers were throughout the execution of the project.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The St. George\u2019s MP was also pleased with how the students took charge the program that morning and the individual who chaired the proceedings was also a student.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Minister of Education Michael Browne, expressed how pleased he was with the upcoming generation of Antigua and Barbuda and how the students took matters into their own hands and led the initiative, with the help of the teachers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He also lauded the leadership skills and intellectual growth of primary school students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Judah Ashe and Jaheim Cornelius, two Grade (six) 6 students, who performed a rap song, were very excited about the project. \u00a0\u201cIt felt so nice because we paid the price, hard work is the key, it worked for me,\u201d stated Mr. Ashe.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In a reflection given by a Grade (Six) 6 student, Angel Charles, the students were so eager about the new classroom that it caused conflict as everyone wanted to have a seat in it.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She further stated that the teacher chose sixteen (16) students at random to have class in the room but that did not resolve the matter, so they were pushed to split the class in two and that way, everyone got a seat in the new classroom.<\/p>\n
