In efforts to commemorate its 10th Anniversary, the National Credit Union held an NCCU Primary School’s Art Competition. Three Primary students have emerged victorious. Sydney Etienne won the first place for Baroness Patricia Scotland Primary School; Nilton Valmond of the Trafalgar Primary school got second place; and third place went to Kerensa Joseph of the Baroness Patricia Scotland Primary School.
 
Marketing Manager at the NCCU, Shari Pascal-Maronie said “It was NCCU’s 10th Anniversary and the theme was centered on young savers because we want to instill that discipline in them early, to save for the future,” she said.
 
“We were delighted that we received submissions before the deadline, but we got calls and messages to consider changing the age since it was first only for ten-year-olds because it was our 10thanniversary. We changed it from 7-10 years old,” Pascal-Maronie stated.
 
She continued “Art is something that is very important, and we are happy that the teachers and parents played a major part in it, and we want to urge you the students to continue doing your artwork.” The NCCU hired artist Shadrack Burton to do the judging.
 
Chief Executive Officer of the NCCU Aylmer Irish said, “We are open to ideas, feel free to advise us through our marketing manager, encourage others to participate the next time around!”
