ACT Donates Laptop to Top Bendals Primary School Student
By Cory Wayland
In a commendable gesture of support for youth education, Antigua Computer Technology (ACT) has donated a laptop to Jada Skepple, an outstanding student at Bendals Primary School, in recognition of her exceptional performance in the 2025 Grade Six National Assessment.
She received honors in the four fundamental subjects: science, social studies, mathematics, and language arts, emerging as one of the top achievers in her district. Her academic success caught the attention of local community advocate Terri London and the Antigua-based Level Up Team, who collaborated to ensure her efforts did not go unnoticed.
London highlighted that ACT’s continuous support for education and youth development is immensely appreciated. She remarked that this notable gesture will certainly empower Skepple in her academic endeavors and serve as a reminder that hard work is recognized and rewarded.
London also emphasized that such investments not only impact the future of individual students but also contribute to the overall development of communities. Providing young learners with the necessary tools for success helps them realize their potential and work toward achieving their goals.
Skepple’s new laptop is expected to play a key role in her academic journey as she transitions into secondary school. The Level Up Team says it hopes to continue working with corporate partners like ACT to reward excellence and inspire more students to aim high.
