This year again the Occidental Grand Aruba, sponsored graduation ceremonies for two schools, Sint Jan Kleuter, a kindergarten, and Laura Wernet Paskel, an elementary school, both schools in Kadushi Largo.
The two schools enjoy an on-going relationship with the resort. Not long ago, the management of the Occidental Grand Aruba handed over eight computers to the Laura Wernet Paskel School, fulfilling a promise made earlier this year when the first two computers were donated, to furnish the school with a state of the art computer lab with a total of 10 stations.
Sr. VP of Operations Andres Pichardo reports it is part of the Occidental Grand’s corporate commitment to its destinations offering to support a worthy community cause. Cardoso explains that Occidental Grand Aruba adopted the schools since the beginning of last year, and has painted the exterior of the building also installing new windows, repairing and painting the school gate, and the courtyard, sponsoring a Sinterklaas party for the whole school in early December including Sinterklaas gifts, and sponsoring a fabulous Christmas dinner & show with all students in attendance, besides the generous computer lab gift, and this time around, spectacular graduation ceremonies.
The closing of the school year party, explains General Manager Jesus Cardoso, also marked finishing painting the entire school exterior.
