The school pageant is one of the major fundraisers for the Graduating Class of 2020. Moreover, the pageant is geared towards building confidence, providing opportunities for seniors to develop life skills, to display talents and to increase the awareness of the importance of service by giving back to the community.
The theme of this year’s pageant is “A Night of Excellence” and the pageant will be held under the distinguished patronage of Mrs. Kalmar Richards, Commissioner of Education and former principal of CedarBridge Academy.
Former business teacher Mr. Dean Foggo brought the idea of the school pageant to CedarBridge Academy to provide students with an opportunity to develop etiquette, interpersonal skills and communications skills. The pageant has been in existence since April 1999.
A spokesperson said, :We look forward to the support of the public, students and CBA alumni. General admission is $25, student tickets are $15 and patron tickets are $50. Tickets for the pageant are available from each contestant, S4 students or from the school’s main office. For any questions regarding the pageant, contact Mrs. Denise Weekes-Burke at dweekes@cedarbridge.doe.bm or 296-5665.”
