With smiling eyes and expressions of gratitude, Merl Grove High School English teacher Jodi-Kaye Thomas (left) and the school’s sixth form coordinator Janiel Rowe (centre) collect a cheque valued at $500,000 from Totlyn Brown-Robb, a member of the Desnoes and Geddes (D&G) Foundation. The all-girls institution was among five winners of half-million dollars each in the foundation’s ‘5 for 5’ promotion, powered by Malta. The donations go towards school improvement and other projects. For Merl Grove, this includes a tablet rental system to help students complete assignments in preparation for upcoming exams.
