Teachers Inspiration with Mrs. Parris Hoyte


On September 1, 2010, schools reopened for the start of the 2010-11 school year. So YouthFlex thought it fitting to highlight and honour teachers and the inspiration they bring to the world. Who better to have as guest than a 2010 Golden Apple Award honouree Mrs. Parris-Hoyte who was also featured in our backchat segment on a common Commonwealth value in the Cayman Islands "Diversity". That was not all, we had Sister Cathy Craig, a volunteer teacher at Truth For Youth School in studio to talk about the school's 50 Years Anniversary Celebrations and she was selected as our Person of the Week who Perspires to Inspire others this week. We also had Miss Teen 2010-11 Leanne Ritch join us to talk about the Pageant and her platform. The Flex Crew has committed to helping her to promote her platform in whatever way she plans.
