Vista­bel­la Pres­by­ter­ian School (VPS) held a walk-a-thon through the streets of San Fer­nan­do on Fri­day morn­ing. 

The theme “Bet­ter Days are Com­ing” was cho­sen in ho­n­our of the late Dr Leroy “Black Stal­in” Cal­liste. 

The chil­dren ac­com­pa­nied by par­ents and staff car­ried plac­ards pro­mot­ing pos­i­tive mes­sages. 

Ex­plain­ing why they de­cid­ed on that theme, prin­ci­pal Cur­tis Din­di­al said, “Bet­ter days are com­ing for our school, for our stu­dents. As we all know the stu­dents are the fu­ture and what we do to­day al­ways dic­tate what hap­pens in the fu­ture. So to­day we have our chil­dren pro­mot­ing plac­ards they have de­signed on our theme Bet­ter Days Are Com­ing, ac­cord­ing to our hous­es. 

We have hous­es with plac­ards por­tray­ing uni­ty, seeds of love, pre­serv­ing our nat­ur­al en­vi­ron­ment, pro­mot­ing health­i­er lifestyles and al­so ed­u­cate to el­e­vate so when we pro­mote these themes to­day, we are hop­ing that our stu­dents who are the fu­ture of Trinidad and To­ba­go im­prove our lifestyles and liv­ing in Trinidad and To­ba­go.” He said the  school is try­ing to pro­mote ca­lyp­so­ni­ans and his­to­ri­ans. “Black Stal­in is a part of San Fer­nan­do, born and bread right here on our soil in San Fer­nan­do, so it is fit­ting to pay trib­ute to him al­so to­day by us­ing his son Bet­ter Days Are Com­ing.” 

The walkathon start­ed and cul­mi­nat­ed at the school
