Our second session of the Reading Under a Tree Project was held on 18th September 2026!
 
Here are some highlights from our amazing Reading Under a Tree activity at Miss Irene Hodge’s home!

This event was hosted in collaboration with the St. Maarten Early Childhood Development Association (SECDA). We were delighted to welcome 9 preschools, with children ages 3–4 years in attendance. There were almost 90 children in attendance so the group was divided in to two sessions. Session one was from 10:00am to 11:00am and session two was from 11:00am - 12:00pm.  

The children were fully engaged, excited, and eager to participate in every part of the literacy experience. Their curiosity, joy, and enthusiasm truly made the morning special for all of us.

Each child received refreshments and a Rotary Club Of SXM Mid‑Isle tote/book bag filled with a few goodies to take home, adding an extra touch of excitement to their day.
