Morrison called the school an “extremely important part of the community,” citing the annual Taste of Africa event the school holds in support of its sister school in Kumba, Cameroon. “I think it's absolutely amazing to instill in our children that they must be life-long givers,” she added, pointing to the need to have good people with integrity and intelligence to eventually run the community and country. “I love guiding fine young people. I just love it.” “You've given back so much to the community,” she told Lord as she presented her with a plaque in honour of the occasion. “It's been fabulous,” commented Sandy Kang-Gill, whose daughter was valedictorian at the school. “The joy of learning was ignited in her.” Teacher Bob Mitchener expressed the pride of welcoming students to the school for 20 years. “God willing, we'll be doing this for another 20 years,” he said. King's College School Managing Director and Co-founder John Eta and Founder and Principal Barbara Lord accepted this plaque from Mayor Marolyn Morrison in honour of the school's 20th Anniversary.Photo by Bill Rea --------------------------------------------------- Images: https://caledoncitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/37-king-5.5-inch-300x236.jpg --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2014-09-14 10:32:38 Post date GMT: 2014-09-14 14:32:38 Post modified date: 2014-09-14 10:32:38 Post modified date GMT: 2014-09-14 14:32:38 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
