Support Public Schools Bermuda (SPS), founded by Juliana Snelling, distributed educational supplies worth $47,450 to six public schools across the island during a two-day initiative. Schools that benefited included West Pembroke Primary, East End Primary, Elliot Primary, Francis Patton Primary, St George's Preparatory, and St David's Primary.
Major donors included Bank of Butterfield ($10,000 in supplies), Everen Group ($5,000), Meritus Trust ($4,000 toward CedarBridge Academy's wellness programme), and Talcott Financial Group ($5,000 toward West Pembroke's literacy programme). Snelling stated, "We are a small group of volunteers and we care about public school education."
Since its 2018 formation, SPS has donated over $675,000 in supplies to public schools, distributing goods twice annually through community partnerships.
