Summary
George Lamming Primary School just received a new TV monitor to support its RISE Reading Programme — but the message is clear: tech is a tool, not a substitute for books and handwriting. MP Marsha Caddle, a program patron, handed over the donation, stressing that foundational literacy skills remain irreplaceable, especially after pandemic-era lessons. Principal Malron Wilson thanked Caddle for her ongoing support and affirmed the school’s commitment to blending digital resources with time-tested methods. The donation was celebrated during an end-of-term assembly, where students were honored for leadership, kindness, and academic excellence — reinforcing that strong literacy starts with the basics and grows with the right balance of tradition and innovation.
