The Moneague Primary & Junior School
Individual Container Gardens
Creating container gardens for the students to have their own individual plants to grow. This will be an opportunity for the children to engage their imagination with nature and enjoy learning. It will also create an appreciation for the world and create a foundation for environmental stewardship.
Tablets for Resource Room
Purchasing 40 tables to have stationary in the resource area. Having the students use school tablets limits external content available as a distraction for learning. There would be enough for the entire class to partake in the activities and not rely on looking on a laptop at the front of the class.
Help Us Expand Our Reach
Outreach to Additional Schools
Connect us with a primary or junior high school principal interested in our sponsorship to stimulate a love for learning. We will work together to make it possible.
Long Term Initiative
Multipurpose Room
Establishing a new multipurpose room to create additional testing space to facilitate additional students. In the past, students would have to stay home due to limited space for proctored exams and rotate coming to school.

About the Organization
Pathways to Excellence (PTE) is a remarkable 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2022. Our mission is to assist and empower underserved communities across Jamaica, from Westmoreland to St Thomas and all the parishes in between. Our core focus lies in educational outreach. PTE was brought to life by the visionary minds of Lisa McKoy MS, BSN, RN and Kimberly Gilbert Henderson DHA (c), MPH, BS, co-founders who possess an unwavering commitment to addressing education and health disparities. They share a vision of implementing effective interventions to uplift the people of Jamaica.
The decision to embark on this joint venture was not taken lightly. Both Lisa and Kimberly equipped themselves with the necessary knowledge and expertise by pursuing graduate school education inspiring them to envision and execute their passion for effective change. With an impressive collective experience of over 45 years in the fields of healthcare and community service. The insatiable drive to empower individuals towards better health and a love for knowledge shared between them. Failure is not an option for the co-founders.
Armed with the invaluable tools and insights acquired during their time in graduate school, Lisa and Kimberly are determined to dismantle the fortress of inequity by focusing on the root causes including various factors that contribute to the creation and perpetuation of these disparities in the lives of those we will be privileged to serve Jamaica. As they continue their journey, PTE stands as a beacon of hope for the underserved communities they serve. Through education outreach, the organization strives to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals, fostering a brighter and healthier future for all the Jamaicans – starting with the youth of the nation.
