The principal, staff and students of the South Rivers Methodist School continue to benefit from a former teacher at the school who now resides in New York.

Over the years, the former teacher has been sending barrels packed with food stuff and other supplies to the school.

This year, the school received two barrels and one box from the former teacher Almira Rodgers.

The items were handed over to the school last Friday, October 13.

The presentation was made by Ostrid Hackshaw, who acted on behalf of Rogers.
