Ten students from the Freeprt’s Caroline G.
Atkinson School danced their way into a second place win in the annual “Youth
on Parade” competition in celebration of Martin Luther King Day,
earning honors for themselves and a plaque for their school. Under the
direction of music and dance teacher Eleana Koondel, the students performed
a dance based on a theme of a speech of Dr. King. The competition was
open to students in Nassau County schools, and was conducted at Malverne
Middle School; the awards were presented in January at a ceremony at
the Adams Playhouse at Hofstra University. |
The students are: Briana Bennett, Indonesia Charles,
Jazira Clahar, Leenora Drummond, Rhoda Exinor, Kierra Harvey, Nicole
