Our Latinos in Action (LIA) students attended the Annual LIA Conference at Paier College in Bridgeport, Connecticut on April 20, 2023. One hundred of our LIA students from Hicksville Middle School and Hicksville High School attended the conference where they received leadership workshops and competed in Fine Arts and Writing contests. Four of our students received awards for their excellent writing skills and art work:
Writing Competition:
Emily Morocho- First Place (High School LIA)
Jiannelys Victoria- Second Place (High School LIA)
Fine Arts:
Brianna Barquero- Second Place (Middle School LIA)
Adriana Aguilar- Third Place (Middle School LIA)
Additionally, our students had the privilege of meeting the Keynote Speaker: NASA Astronaut, Dr. Jose M. Hernandez, son of immigrant parents, who inspired them to reach for the stars.
Congratulations to our students for their dedication and to our LIA teacher, Mr. Omar Garcia, for his excellent workmanship and dedication to our students.
