Commissioner of Education and Leader of Government William Marlin appreciated the 26 exceptional educators that were selected by their schools for the "exceptional qualities" displayed over the years towards their students and parents and our educational system in general. These educators don’t hesitate to go the extra mile.
The teachers were given a tour of the cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas, and was then treated to an exclusive lunch in one of their finest restaurants.
Marlin added that teachers are at the centre of shaping the minds and characters of our islands young people. This tour and luncheon was just a small way in which we decided to show our appreciation to this group of teachers.
I would like to say a special thank you to our teachers for preparing our children for the roles that they will play in the future advancement of our society as well as in Country St. Maarten.
We would also like to thank the Tourist Office for their assistance in organizing the tour aboard the Freedom of the Seas. Special thank you also goes to Mr. Keith Franca of the St. Maarten Port Authority, Commissioner of Education William Marlin told the Government Information Service (GIS).
