COME JOIN THE BISHOPS’ HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI FOR A DAY OF FUN TOWARDS THE REPAIRS OF THE SCHOOL’S HALL
It is time to dust off your roller skates and come have an enjoyable day. The New York Chapter of the Bishops’ High School Old Students Association is inviting all to a fun day to raise funds for their alma mater, on Saturday 2nd of April, 2022 at 85 Bay Avenue Brooklyn, New York, 12345 from 11am to 5pm.
The Bishops’ High School is in need of money for repairs to its beloved Oswald Parry Hall, the auditorium where all the school’s cultural events and assembly meetings are held. At the beginning and end of the school week, all the students would gather in the hall first thing in the morning for assembly, where the principal would briefly address a few hundred students trying their best not to fidget. For each holiday which represented a cultural or religious event, a concert was held to bring awareness to all.
Earlier this month, a part of the roof collapsed and to this end the Old Students Association has vowed to do their part in giving back to the school. According to the president of the association Peter Williams, “We have very fond memories of that hall. It wasn’t only utilized for cultural events, but it was also a place to blow off steam during our lunch period with a game of table tennis, badminton or any other game that we had a yen to play at that time”.
So, you’re being asked to come out to the funplex and engage in a few games. There will be rolling skating for those who can still remain upright in them, games running the gamut from table tennis to jacks, and a few silly races including lime and spoon and tug-of-war. Alumni are being asked to wear their house colors to represent for a day of high entertainment. We look forward to your support.
The Bishops High School is a premier school in Georgetown, Guyana. It was founded in 1870 by the Anglican Church as a girls’ school and became a coed in 1975. It underwent a few name changes and eventually arrived at the current name in 1922, after Bishop E. A. Parry who had been a previous owner. In 1936, the “Oswald Parry Hall” was opened in his honor.
