An island hotel has donated bags full of school supplies for a community back to school event.

Rosewood Bermuda’s director of operations, Esan Frederick, and executive assistant to the managing director, Paul Hardtman, donated ten backpacks of supplies for high school students for the Devil’s Hole community “Back-2-School fun day” event.

The hotel has contributed to the event for the past few years as part of its community outreach programme.

A spokesperson for the hotel said: “The annual event is a highly anticipated day for the community which Rosewood Bermuda has participated in for the past couple of years by donating funds.

“This year, however, the property chose a different approach by donating school supplies.”

The donated backpacks contained many things that students need throughout the school year: pens, pencils, notepads, scientific calculators, water bottles and lunch boxes, to name a few items.

The backpacks will be given out at the event on Labour Day, Monday, September 5.
