🏠💙 A teacher’s greatest lesson is often one of perseverance.

After Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica in October 2025, Ms. Shantal Burns, a Grade 3 teacher, faced a challenge no family should have to endure—the loss of her home.

While continuing to show up for her students each day, she has also been navigating the difficult journey of rebuilding and recovering from the storm’s devastating impact.
Today, we share Ms. Burns’ story of strength, hope, and determination. Her experience is a reminder that behind every classroom is an educator who may also need the support of their community. 📚✨

✨ Four schools. One mission. Stronger learning environments for students across Jamaica.

Today, the National Education Trust joined the Jamaica Defence Force and United States Southern Command in supporting the JDF Day of Service through a school refurbishment initiative at four institutions across the island.

🎨🖌️ Gaynstead and Clan Carthy High Schools, along with Grove and Rennock Lodge Primary and Infant Schools, benefited from minor maintenance works aimed at enhancing their learning environments. Activities included painting, landscaping 🌳, groundskeeping 🌿, and repairs to playground equipment 🛝.

Through this collaborative effort, the U.S. Navy, Jamaica Defence Force, and their partners provided the resources, materials, and manpower needed to improve these educational spaces, demonstrating the power of partnership in supporting students and school communities across Jamaica.

📚💙 Together, we are creating safer, brighter, and more inspiring spaces for learning.

🌿💚 Labour Day 2026 in action!

Today, Team NET rolled up our sleeves at the Swallowfield Primary School to refresh and beautify their Peace Garden—weeding, planting, painting, and helping to create a more welcoming environment for students and staff.

Small actions can make a big difference in the spaces where learning and growth take place. 🌱✨🇯🇲
