I will contact you by email as soon as I get a response from the school's principal. Do you know if the school has a 'virtual' past students' association in the diaspora? Several past students have responded to this blog post, as you can see.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743130026557678304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025352266076145189.post-36131121206054302442014-01-26T18:18:59.234-08:002014-01-26T18:18:59.234-08:00I've attended this school when I was a child. ...I've attended this school when I was a child. Is there a direct line to the current principal of this school so that i may commit to financial donation to the school's improvement? I can be reached directly at 508-837-7602. In addition, if it is easier to communicate via e-mail, my e-mail address is mjmj24@gmail.com. Please help me to help them in any way I can. I feel it is my responsibility to help these kids so they may have the potential and opportunity that was given to me for success. Thanks in advance.

(She has a website). <br />Could you send me a message through facebook? My fb name is Helen Billy Elm Williams. Use my regular page, not my fan page which would give problems.

I'm from Jamaica, but would like to expose them to book from Jamaica. Can you please help? I also write for a few sites and would love to interview you. Please get in touch with me.Weather Anchor Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083732416544847780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025352266076145189.post-59368033719252974452013-07-09T19:17:34.719-07:002013-07-09T19:17:34.719-07:00I attended this school years ago!I attended this school years ago!Weather Anchor Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083732416544847780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025352266076145189.post-410709934147450532012-05-23T21:01:46.659-07:002012-05-23T21:01:46.659-07:00Thanks for posting this, Helen.

The principal is really invested in trying to make the most of whatever resources she has access to. Glad she got Granville onto the roster for Reading Week.<br /><br />I should note that the district of Granville is not on the outskirts of Montego Bay. That would be a better description of Salt Spring, Glendevon, and even Mt. Salem. The district is located about 8 miles inland from the city, and in a more rural setting. So comparing its condition to that of the city isn't really fair. Plus, like many other schools in Jamaica, the staff put a lot of emphasis on having a clean schoolyard. It's been this way since I was a child. Anything else will simply not do.<br /><br />I'll be sure to create some exercises based on the book for when I visit the school in a few weeks; I'm sure they'll remember the book. Were you able to donate a copy to the school's Reading Resource Room?Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05974754968045758692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025352266076145189.post-2495396555794152442012-04-27T12:43:10.917-07:002012-04-27T12:43:10.917-07:00We did have some discussion, questions coming from...We did have some discussion, questions coming from girls and boys about equally. The usual questions: "Where can you buy the book?" "Is it going to be made into a movie?" (I wish!!). I told them about the sequel to Delroy and there was a strong positive reaction to the the title: "Delroy and the Marog Princess".Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743130026557678304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6025352266076145189.post-75347242814444332592012-04-27T10:02:31.928-07:002012-04-27T10:02:31.928-07:00Helen,

I'm curious about the kid's reactions. <br /><br />Did you have any discussion/question & answer time? Did you get more reaction from girls than boys? <br /><br />Did you tell them about RANA coming soon?Pamela K Wittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628303133958804453noreply@blogger.com
