PRINCIPAL Denika Martin, staff, coaches and students of Bartlett Hill Primary School celebrated the victories of their boys and girls teams in the recent Grand Bahama Primary Schools Sports Association’s basketball championship series.

Ramon Dames, the coach for the team, noted that they were delighted to honour the team for their accomplishments.

On Wednesday this week, he noted how proud they were of their achievements.

While the boys finished the regular season as the pennant winners, the girls ended up in third place, but they both prevailed when it counted the most in the championship.

During the special pres- entation of the team at their assembly, members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, including Sergeant 269 Reserve William, ASP Lee Capron and Sergeant 3498 Dean, joined in the team’s celebrations.

“We just came to cele- brate with the Bartlett Hill Primary School on their victories in the recent basketball championships,” said Capron, the officer in charge of Eight Mile Rock Police Station.

“Our commissioner has mandated that we pay attention to the youth of the country in supporting them in positive activities.

“And this is our way of saying to them that we are proud of them and we are happy that they are productive citizens in their communities and we want to encourage them to continue to do the same,” he stated.
