PwC Jamaica Continues Longstanding Partnership With St. Michael's Primary School Through Post-Easter Treat

PwC Jamaica continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to community engagement by hosting various events and initiatives that benefit the local community. One such event took place recently when PwC organized a post-Easter treat for the students, teachers, and staff of St. Michael's Primary and Infant School in downtown Kingston.

The post-Easter event, held in mid-April on the school grounds, was filled with engaging activities for the students. However, PwC went above and beyond by not only providing entertainment but also making a meaningful contribution to the school's lunch program. The firm generously donated groceries, ensuring that the students have access to nutritious meals.

In addition to the food donation, PwC went a step further and donated seven television sets to enhance the school's learning initiatives. This generous gesture highlights PwC's dedication to supporting education and enrichment in the community. By providing these resources, PwC aims to empower the students and create an environment conducive to effective learning.

The success of this event wouldn't have been possible without the support of PwC's partners and staff. They collectively contributed J$1 million towards the event, ensuring that the students had a memorable day filled with activities and treats. PwC volunteers were also present to assist with the event, allowing the students to enjoy various rides and tasty treats. It was truly a delightful way to end the week for everyone involved.

Gail Moore, partner and corporate responsibility leader at PwC Jamaica, expressed the firm's deep commitment to supporting the community, particularly its children. She emphasized the joy PwC experiences in being of service to the community and seeing the students of St. Michael's Primary and Infant School have a fun and positive experience. Moore believes that activities like these are crucial in promoting a healthy balance between learning and play. PwC hopes that events such as these contribute to the social well-being of the students and their communities as they progress through their school years.

Principal Juliet Campbell McPherson expressed her gratitude to the PwC team on behalf of the teachers and students. She acknowledged PwC's consistent commitment to the school and the broader community. Campbell McPherson emphasized the importance of providing opportunities for students to enjoy play and have safe, childlike experiences. She praised PwC for hosting the post-Easter treat, which allowed the students to have a play-filled day while also supporting their overall wellness.

Bruce Scott, territory leader at PwC Jamaica, highlighted the positive impact of this initiative on the school and the community. He emphasized PwC's long-standing support and collaboration with St. Michael's Primary and Infant School, which reflects the firm's deep-rooted commitment to education and community empowerment.
