students at Saltus Grammar School.

Senior students at the school are holding a Ewan Sampson Day on June 24 in memory of the 17-year-old who was killed in a motorcycle accident last April.

Events will be held during the day to raise cash for the Ewan Sampson Memorial Scholarship fund, set up to assist students wanting to study information technology at university.

Students will be able to wear casual clothes on the day, paying $1 for the privilege.

In the morning students will be able to watch a film or take part in such activities as debating, swimming and games.

There will be a concert by the school's jazz band at noon followed by the presentation of scholarship fund money raised by the students to Ewan's parents.

A barbecue lunch and more games in the afternoon finish off the celebrations.

Principal Nigel Kermode said: "As they did last year, the students again want to remember Ewan as the vibrant, fun-loving and caring person that he was.

"While there is an appropriate, lasting commemoration of him at the school through last year's planting of a Poinciana tree -- and in Bermuda through the establishment of his scholarship fund -- the students' idea for Ewan Sampson Day is to be upbeat and positive, just as they think Ewan would wish them to be. I believe they would like to establish Ewan Sampson Day as an annual end of year event.'' OBITUARY OBT EDUCATION ED
