The First Lady was given a warm welcome when she arrived at the school. “I’d like to thank the Head Mistress of Woodley Park Primary for inviting me here today… and to wish you all a very merry Christmas. I’m very happy to be here,” the First Lady said.
The party opened with a medley of Christmas carols such as “Away in a Manger” and “Joy to the World” sung by the Grade Six Choir. Petite Leanna Bharrat charmed the audience with her confident recitation of the poem “The Day before Christmas”. Her performance was quickly followed by the recitation of another poem by the duo Zarefa Salick and Trishana Bharrat.
