COMMUNITY WELL-BEING

This year alone, Bahama Rock has donated to numerous causes, including four local schools in the area: Barlett Hill
Primary School, Martin Town Primary School, Eight Mile Rock High School and Hugh Campbell Primary School. Visiting
each school offers a fresh opportunity to witness the impact of Bahama Rock’s efforts.

Funds donated by Bahama Rock were used to update the library at Eight Mile High School.

At Eight Mile Rock High School, you see the updated locker room, gymnasium and library. At Martin Town Primary
School, you see the rock wall students climb each day and updated shelves in the library.

The people share details of the projects as well. Sometimes you hear about the limestone provided for the playgrounds.
Other times, you hear about the assistance Bahama Rock offered in clearing a new entryway to allow students more room
to social distance during the pandemic. These stories each have the same arc: Bahama Rock’s people showed up. They
volunteered. They made an immeasurable difference.

What makes this assistance all the more special is the fact that many on the Bahama Rock Community Relations
Committee attended these schools. In some cases, their children do, too.

At Martin Town Primary School, Principal Lisa Newton says she relies on Bahama Rock Control Person Benton Henfield
“whenever the school is in need of something, whether that be shelves, uniforms, snacks or even time.” Every now and
then, he even visits the school to speak with the students. Newton’s remarks are echoed by school leaders across the
island.
