UBS PRIMARY ACTIVITY: BUCKINGHAM GOES GREEN FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
The * UBS Primary Activity “Eco-Products”, which was held on Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at the Buckingham School, was directed at the 5th graders from Tilatá, Femenino, CIEDI, Portales and Trinidad del Monte.
Its objective was to encourage children to minimise waste from an early age and get creative with ways to reuse materials at school.
Actions speak loudest. When others see what your school can accomplish, they become inspired to do the same themselves.

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
Vince Lombardi (American Football Coach, national symbol of single-minded determination to win.1913-1970)
Sports are very important in the Buckingham School. They promote a healthy lifestyle, develop motor and teamwork skills.
This year our soccer, basketball, and volleyball teams played their best representing the school. They won more than one *UBS Championships. You don’t become the best overnight. It was the result of hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to all of our basketball players and coaches!
