Extending gratitude for the kind gesture, the principal of the institution Mr. Javan Cannonier expressed “I would like to thank the Class of 1986 for this important and timely contribution as we do believe that sports are a vital part or component of any aspect.
It [sports] also compliments academics as we are aware that education is not only about learning but the integration of sporting activities to promote or amplify that [education]. On behalf of the Cayon Primary School staff, students and management we are grateful to the Class of 1986 from the Cayon High School.”
