CARRIACOU -The Windward Pre-Primary school

	Welcome to Windward Primary School. Thanks go to Cindy Fletcher and Roxanne Pollydone for letting us visit the school. that is cool! The Windward Pre-Primary school is located in the fishing village of Windward situated to the north eastern side of the island.
This village is also well known for it's many boat builders.Our ancestors came from Scotland hence the reason why there are so many Mc's living in this village.
	The Windward Pre-school was housed in a private dwelling for over 20 years,a very concern and generous citizen living in London gave his house freely to be used as the school.
Pam school was called so because of the teacher Ms. Pamella McFarlane.She was followed by many others after she migrated to the US.Mrs.Corine McDonald,Carmen McLawrence,Yevonne McLawrence and Rholda Quminer.
However,after many years of waiting,the Government of Grenada started our very own school but could not be completed.The P.T.A and some concern citizens started to work out a plan and every possible event was held to raise much needed funds to ensure that the Windward Pre school becomes a reality.
Finally in January 1996 the Windward Pre-School unfinished but open it's doors .

Special thanks to the Government of Grenada,the business sector,community of Windward and surrounding areas and well wishers here and abroad.Also a great thanks to the Canadian funding agency who plastered and painted the out side of the building,erected two pieces of play equipment and constructed a concrete road from the main road to the school,and a pavement around building.
