Photos: St George’s Celebrates Veteran Educator

The Corporation of St. George’s Activities Committee hosted a Celebration for a long serving Educator — Ms. Ianthe Pearman — yesterday [Feb 27] at Pennos Wharf.

Ms. Pearman, 89, is a St. Georgian who has taught many who went through the doors of East End Primary School.

Those present at the celebration included Minister of Education & Economic Development Dr Grant Gibbons, Shadow Minister of Education Walton Brown, Senator Renee Ming, MP Lovitta Foggo, former Premier and Education Minister Dame Jennifer Smith and St. George’s Mayor Garth Rothwell.

“She has taught many generations of families, and we the Committee felt the need to celebrate Ms. Pearman for her dedication to the East End Community. She is well remembered by many, and will be celebrating her 90th birthday later this year,” a spokesperson said.

The spokesperson continued, “Ms. Pearman has impacted many lives in St. George’s, and this is just a small way of showing our appreciation for her commitment to the education of many people.

“Ms. Pearman has taught many who have been successful in many sectors in our island such as a former Premier, Members of Parliament, Senators, Mayors, Alderman, Councillors, accountants, assistant police commissioner, engineers, teachers, and the list goes on.

“The Committee consists of Corporation of St. George’s elected members, residents, business owners and the politicians who have an interest in getting St. George’s active again. Members of our committee were students of Ms. Pearman, and therefore, we find the need to honour her now.”
