The First Lady was given a warm welcome when she arrived at the school. “I’d like to thank the headmistress of Woodley Park Primary for inviting me here today… and to wish you all a very merry Christmas. I’m very happy to be here,” the First Lady said.
The party opened with a medley of Christmas carols, such as “Away in a Manger” and “Joy to the World” sung by the Grade Six choir. Petite Leanna Bharrat charmed the audience with her confident recitation of the poem “The Day Before Christmas”. Her performance was quickly followed by the recitation of another poem by duo Zarefa Salick and Trishana Bharrat. The First Lady then assisted in the distribution of gifts to the children before the close of the party.
Acting Headmistress Savitri Khan, Grade Six Teacher and Choir Mistress Shivonne Williams, other teachers and Carol Smith-Joseph, Regional Councillor and Administrator of the Hugo Chávez Centre for Rehabilitation and Reintegration, along with several members of staff from the Centre also attended the party.
