GOVERNOR DEJONGH TO VISIT TERRITORIAL SCHOOLS MONDAY--OPENING DAY OF NEW SCHOOL YEAR Governor John P. deJongh will tour public school campuses in both districts on Monday which marks the first day of the 2008-2009 school year. According to Government House Communications Director Jean P.

Woodson Junior High School and Lew Muckle Elementary School before returning to St. Thomas for a whirlwind tour of schools in that district,” Greaux said. On St. Thomas, deJongh will make an 11:30 a.m. visit to the Ulla Muller Elementary School before proceeding to the Yvonne Bowsky School and later to the campuses of Ivanna Eudora Kean High School and Charlotte Amalie High School. DeJongh said he will once again use the opening day of a new school year to encourage students to study hard and at the same time, thank teachers for their dedication in service to our young people. “We must continue the effort to afford every child in the Virgin Islands the education they deserve. The work we do now on their behalf, will lay the foundation for a bright future for every one of our students.” |
