TBT to a moment that reminded me why stories shape us. 😊
Last November, during Sir John A. Cumber Primary School’s (SJACP) Heritage Week, I joined an Our History, Our Past panel alongside Hon. Francine Jackson, Ms. Daphne Orrett, Mrs. Authurlyn Pedley, and Ms. Eziethamae Bodden, MBE, moderated by young Caymanian Ms. Danielle Seales.
What resonated most was the genuine curiosity of the Year 5 and 6 students. Their thoughtful questions about Cayman’s history, culture, and traditions, and their eagerness to hear our personal stories, reaffirmed for me how impactful learning from lived experience can be.
Thank you to Ms. Jovanna Wright, Principal of SJACP and the Social Studies Committee at SJACP for fostering spaces that strengthen Cayman heritage and culture, helping our children understand where they come from. ✨️🙌🏾🎉🇰🇾
What Cayman story or tradition do you think every child should learn? 😊
