As the new school year opens, the poster entitled "St. Martin cuisine as culture" is heading for the island’s schools.
The St. Martin Book Fair Committee (BFC) is distributing the poster, said Shujah Reiph, BFC coordinator.
The House of Nehesi Publishers poster uses Yvette’s cookbook as its central theme. "House of Nehesi asked the book fair to team up on getting this gift to our schools," said Reiph.
"The poster distribution-early contact with the schools in the North and South is a BFC activity to raise awareness about the upcoming 10th anniversary of the St. Martin Book Fair in 2012," said Reiph.
This activity further promotes reading, writing, books, and "the posting of unifying St. Martin cultural images on the schools’ hallway or classroom bulletin boards," said Reiph.
Schools can contact co*************@ya***.com or ne****@si*********.net to obtain their free poster, said Reiph, who is also host of Conscious Lyrics, the popular weekend radio magazine.
