ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE – The Lower Corentyne Secondary School was adjudged winners when the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club hosted its third annual Children’s Mash Parade last week.
The event was organised in collaboration with the Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under 15, Pepsi Under 19, Bakewell Under 17 and Second Division, Metro Females, Gizmos and Gadgets Under 23 and First Division Teams.
Students from the Lower Corentyne catchment area including the Corentyne Comprehensive and Port Mourant Secondary, Ankerville and Rose Hall Town Nursery, Rose Hall Town, Port Mourant and Belvedere Primary Schools participated.
The parade falls under the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club’s ‘Say No to Drugs and Yes to Education’ campaign.
The club also had a float on show which depicted all their achievements over the years and promoted the ‘Yes to Sports and No to Crime Message’.
The 600 children began their trek at Belvedere and ended up at the J.C. Chandisingh Secondary School’s compound where a concert was held.
In the second spot for the senior category was the Corentyne Comprehensive followed by the Port Mourant Secondary School. For the middle category, the Port Mourant Primary ‘mash up’ the first place leaving the second spot for the Rose Hall Town Primary School.
The students from the Belvedere Primary gyrated their way into the third position. The Ankerville Nursery with their colourful costumes caught the judges’ eyes, thus leaving their competitors behind.
They were all judged on their banners, costumes, placards, number of students, discipline and other aspects.
A total of $75,000 worth of indoor games was up for grabs. The panel of judges was headed by retired Head Teacher Desiree Benjamin-Lewis.
Chief Executive Officer of the Rose Hall Youth and Sports Club and National Sports Personality of 2009, Hilbert Foster, lauded both the participants and organisers of the event.
The Guyana Police Force also came in for praise on the job done in ensuring the event was incident free.
He boasted that his club would soon be observing their 20th year in existence.
