BBFS Holds Program At Dellwood Middle School
Bermuda’s Brazilian Football School in partnership with Bank of Bermuda Foundation, facilitated an After School program at the Dellwood Middle School.
The program commenced on February 2nd and concluded on May 26th with football and futsal activity from 3:30 – 5:00 pm twice a week.
Each week [Tuesday and Thursday] the After School Football program offered a maximum of 30 students [coed], a fun and active safe haven for those who would primarily leave the school grounds without adult supervision. The post 3:30pm program ensured that all participating students received positive mentoring.
“The program in its 3rd year offered the opportunity to engage in weekly life skills discussions, whilst encouraging healthy physical activity, aimed at decreasing the risks of childhood obesity and or diabetes,” a spokesperson said.
“Due to the generous support of the Bank of Bermuda Foundation and Market Place Group, the students received healthy snacks and health drinks during each session, at no costs to the students or school.
“On the last day of the program, the students were treated to a delicious fast food snack as a reward for their outstanding behavior and weekly attendance. The weekly attendance was above 80% with an average of 24 out of 30 students attending each session.
“BBFS wishes to acknowledge the support of: The Bank of Bermuda Foundation, BBFS program leader Mr. Jermaine [Speedy] Smith, Dellwood Middle School Principal Ms. Tina Duke, Deputy Principal Mr. Fox, athletic directors and facility/maintenance staff.”
