Isla Bonita students and teachers marched through the principal streets of San Pedro on Thursday, October 7th, 2010 celebrating the tenth anniversary of Isla Bonita Elementary School. It is certainly a proud achievement for the school, which was started in September of 2000. Hurricane Keith damaged the infrastructure shortly after the school had opened its doors, but by October, the school was back up and running, and despite a few stumbles along the way, they now boast around 90+ students, with a roster of eight (8) teachers.
Isla Bonita is the largest private school in San Pedro, and it boasts great achievements such as Brian Schweigler’s high PSE score that topped the all island’s schools results. Students enjoy good education and a wonderful support system at Isla Bonita Elementary. According to Mrs. Addy Trejo, Principal, they have come a long way thanks to the help from businesses and unending support from the families and general public. Congratulations to Isla Bonita Elementary, and here’s to many more years of education!!
