>PHILIPSBURG:--- NAPA Auto, Truck & Marine Parts (SXM) and Windward Islands Bank (WIB) have made it possible for 650 high school students in St. Maarten to have copies of the HYPE Agenda for the 2015 – 2016 academic year.

HYPE Coordinator Zulayka Peterson said the HYPE team is very grateful to both businesses for being good corporate citizens and making it possible for students to get the agendas to use.

“We are very happy to see that these businesses – NAPA Auto Truck & Marine Parts (SXM) and WIB – are supporting a local product and also supporting our young people with a tool that can help in their education,” Peterson said in a press release on Tuesday.

The locally produced Agenda is themed: “The journey travelled to achieve one’s goals.” This is the fifth edition of Hype Agenda. The first one was produced in 2008. Other issues were in 2010, 2013, 2014 and now for the 2015-2016 school year.

The Agendas are specifically tailored for the academic year and cover the months that coincide with the school year making them easy for students to use for school related reminders such as noting down their assignments, projects, homework and other school related things. Also included are useful information such as school vacation dates and study financing information. Pictures taken locally, featuring high school students are also in the Agenda. The HYPE Agenda Team believes that every high school student should have a copy of this agenda.

The coordinating team involves a group of students from the various high schools in St.
Maarten. These students were actively involved in the production process and they determined the information they want to see reflected in the Agenda. They went out and conducted research and wrote most of the enlightening articles and profiles that appear in the Agenda. The articles reflect the general theme and they relate to the youth.

Numerous young and adult role models from right here in St. Maarten as well as from Saba, St. Eustatius and internationally are featured throughout the Agenda, including our past and present national heroes.

Persons who want copies of the HYPE Agendas can get them at Penny's Department Store, Office World, Blue Point, Pete's Photo and at the respective high schools. The Agendas costs NAf. 10 or US $6 each.
