The Minister of Sports and Parliamentary Representative of Constituency visited Tyrrell Williams Primary School and Verchilds High School in St. Kitts and Nevis. The visit was very special, as Duggins hosted the much-awaited Back to School Fun Day. The event went off very well, with students and their families receiving school bags, stationery, geometric sets, and many other essential items.
It wasn’t only about giving out school supplies and building stronger bonds in the community. Duggins made sure to thank all those who contributed to his special day, from behind-the-scenes officials of the events committee down to the families who came to celebrate the day with them. “Together, we’re building a stronger, more united community. Here’s to a successful school year ahead!” he added.
Sharing moments of the event on his official Facebook account, Samal Duggins expressed how grateful and happy he was to help and serve the community. “This event is close to my heart, as it represents our ongoing commitment to supporting our community, especially our children, as they prepare for the new school term,” he said.
The day was significant to the children. All had vibrant smiles, which showed how happy they were to receive new school supplies and enjoy fun activities. He also highlighted that giving back to the community goes beyond material support. It’s about bringing a sense of belonging and ensuring every child feels valued and supported.
Minister Duggins wished all the students the very best as school term resumed on September 1, 2024. He focused on making students avail themselves of the opportunities available, both in and outside the classroom. Moreover, he encouraged the children to eagerly and positively welcome the opportunities for the upcoming school year.
The event is a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, it can create positive and lasting impacts on the lives of its young members.

He felt proud of such an outstanding achievement by those students, teachers, principals, and staff.
Duggins, a past student and maths teacher at the institution, shared his connection to this success when he said, “As a former student, maths teacher, and now the parliamentary representative, I couldn’t be more proud.” “The achievement reflects the school’s commitment to excellence and a bright future,” he added.
The Minister’s visit, marked by genuine care and support, positively impacted the academic year ahead. Duggins’ words of encouragement help the students, reminding them of their potential and his belief in their success.
