For most students, the first day of school comes with the familiar mix of butterflies, excitement and big smiles. And at Stella Maris, that excitement was even more special this morning. While the school continues to operate from temporary location at the University of Belize as renovations at their facility continue, teachers, parents and management made sure the students felt right at home. There was a special photo shoot to let their personalities shine, a nutritious breakfast, treats in the classroom and thanks to a sister-city partnership with the Belize City Council and Miramar, Florida, every student returned to school in brand-new uniforms. We caught up with Principal Doreth Pascasio-Griffith about the excitement on day one.
