The Environmental Health Officer paid a visit to inform us that they wish to fog the area this Friday. This is being done as a precaution with the recent outbreak of dengue in the territory and the increase of mosquitoes with the recent rains. We need to request all children to be picked up by 4:30p.m. on Friday afternoon to safely accomplish this. Thank you for your cooperation.

Students, Parents and Friends, We had a wonderful weekend to end the school year. It started with the inaugural graduation ceremony and prize giving ceremony on Friday, June 29th. This was a momentous occasion for First Impressions and we were happy to share it with so many supporters. Congratulations to our first graduates, all of whom passed their exams with a Grade 1 Level pass. These first results from First Impressions Primary School make us proud. Thank you all for making this day the great day it was. Then on Sunday, July 1st there was the final day of the BDO Football League and we were treated to a long afternoon of great football which was followed by the awards ceremony. Once again we placed very high in this competition. Our U7 team placed 3rd in their division and an exhibition game was played between the 1st and 2nd place winners. The U9 division played their final match and our team won this match for 1st place in this division. This match was followed by the U12 final match. This turned out to be a nail-biting, heart-pounding match which after full time and overtime was tied with a score of 1-1. The match had to be decided by a penalty shootout and this is where our team finally won the victory. First Impressions ended up with two 1st place positions and one 3rd place position. Congratulations to all the students who took part and to all the parents who supported all throughout the league and who rocked the stands as we cheered on our teams. Have an enjoyable summer and we look forward to seeing you again when school re-opens. To those who will be leaving our FI family, especially to the graduates, we will miss you and we wish you success in all your future endeavours. First Impressions

We appreciate you kind cooperation as the entire staff wished to witness our first graduation ceremony. We have had 6 of these students since they were 1-2 years old. Dear First Impressions Parents, In response to our beloved Teacher Ann’s untimely passing, many parents have expressed their fondness for Teacher Ann, their sympathies for her loved ones, as well as their desire to assist; especially financially, with her final arrangements. In the interest of time (Teacher Ann is to be interred in Jamaica), and to ease the burden that Mrs. Frett and other staff members are presently carrying, I have volunteered to assist in coordinating collection efforts at the school to ensure that Teacher Ann’s family receives our full support; moral and financial. To this end, parents who wish to make financial contributions may do so by cash or check. Please note that checks should be made payable to First Impressions and placed in the allotted box. A donation box will be made available at the school for persons wishing to donate from Friday May 11th thru Friday May 18th. I will never forget you, the things you helped me through You were always there when I needed you I am so happy to have had you with me – Author unknown “The voices of past & present students” – First Impressions Sincerely, Stacie Stoutt-James
– PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THE END – A Memorial Serice is being held for Teacher Ann this Saturday May 12 at 4:30pm. The Service will be held at First Impressions. We expect to have a rather large turnout and planning and implementation time is limited. As you can imagine, the resources of the school are stretched to the limit now. If you wish to assist in any way please let the school know so that things can be coordinated, but please also be aware that Ms. Frett especially is under tremendous pressure and that your help will be needed. This post will be updated periodically and additions will be given date and time stamps so look out for more information. 10-May-12 If you would like to submit a tribute to Teacher Ann via e-mail, send it to admin@firstimpressionsbvi.com by Friday 7pm. Tributes e-mailed after that time are not guaranteed to be included in our presentation.
