It’s tradition here for Santa to arrive on the last morning of school on fire truck laden with book gifts for all. Mindful of COVID-19 this year, Santa recorded a special message for us all that was shared virtually to all our students learning at home and at school.

It wasn’t quite the same, but the excitement of seeing our familiar Santa, hearing his voice and sharing blessings met with the same enjoyment as ever.

We certainly have lots to be grateful for this year and thank Santa for finding a creative way to share his presence!

Memories of our past Santa visits…

News from Santa…he is making his way down to Provo in his water sleigh, with JoJo and his friends helping him out!

His flip-flops are polished and his beard shined.
The candy canes are all wrapped and taste tested.

His sleigh is full of books for all the children of Provo Primary.

And he is excited to see everyone!

Once at the dock, the local fire service will drive him to the school in their bright red fire truck.

See you tomorrow, Santa!

Hip Hip Hooray!  We are feeling blessed that Santa once again journeyed far from the cold North Pole to the warmth of TCI to come and visit us all here at Provo Primary today.  In true Provo Primary tradition he arrived at the school on a fire truck with horns blazing and lights flashing, greeted by cheers and smiles from all the children.

Santa certainly seemed as if he was in the holiday spirit donning his bright red flip flops!  Perhaps he is planning to put on his red board shorts and head to the beach!  He definitely deserves a cooling off after two and half hours of gift giving in his winter suit in this heat!

Thank you Santa.  Your gifts of a book for each and every child, and a chance to share a special one-to one moment with you was much appreciated and enjoyed.

See you next year, Santa!

Santa came to visit us today bringing every child in the school a gift.  All the children went out to greet him as he arrived, not by sleigh, but on a shiny red fire engine, with flashing lights and loud sirens blaring.  Santa knows that all the children at Provo Primary school LOVE reading, so each year he brings a library of wrapped books in his sack.  THANK YOU SANTA and happy reading everyone!

Santa came to visit the school today, arriving on a shiny fire truck.  This is a special Christmas tradition at the school that the children always look forward to on the last day of term.  Everyone gathers in the car park and awaits the sound, not of sleigh bells, but of the fire engine siren, announcing Santa’s arrival.

Excitement builds as the truck draws nearer and the welcoming smiles, claps and cheers reach fever pitch as he parks and climbs out of the truck with his bulging present sack on his back.  He is then eagerly followed into the school by the ecstatic crowd. He sits himself down on our outside stage and the classes comes out in turn to visit him, each child receiving a gift from his sack.  He always brings everyone a book, for he is a clever Santa who knows that learning to read and enjoying reading is very important.

All the children also got the chance to go on the fire truck – a big thank you to the members of the Turks and Caicos Fire Department for letting everyone take a closer look at the truck and for helping transport Santa to us. “Why does he come on the fire truck?” asked one of our five year olds.  I wonder what Santa said…perhaps you’ll leave us a comment and say what you think he replied!

See you next year, Santa and thank you for stopping by!

Happy Holidays, from everyone at Provo Primary.

‘Secret Angel Week’ is a special time when all of our staff gets to experience a little love and appreciation from each other. This is the fourth year of having this event at the school and it is a very much loved and enjoyed time in our calendar.

A bit like a ‘Secret Santa’, we each were assigned someone to be an ‘Angel’ to, with our task being to shower them with secret surprises over the week. From hand-picked flowers to caring poems, delicious food treats to special gifts, we were all amazed by each others’ creative ideas and appreciative of their kind thoughtfulness. As intrigue over who’s angel was who’s gathered each day, we all looked forward to the ‘grand ‘revealing of our angels on the final day and took the opportunity to thank them kindly for all they had done for us to make us feel special.  What a super week!

We encourage you to introduce a ‘Secret Angel’ event to your workplace— we introduced it the first year with just a single day and it was so fun that we extended it to a week.  We know you’ll love it and enjoy seeing how its happy effect spreads to each and every one of your team.  Check out some info about it on the https://blog.mindvalley.com/love-into-the-workplace/ and let us know if you are planning to join in the fun.
