Talent Unlimited is a literary journal through BOCES that annually has an open call to schools in our area for art, both Literary and Visual. They received over 300 entries and from those 300 writers and artists, 2 were selected from our school to be published in this year's journal. Cecil Velez and her beautiful paper mache masks titled "Passing the Torch" were named in connection with her family legacy of making masks made traditionally in Puerto Rico and Kaden Gates for his awe-inspiring poem "Cemetery of My Memory" about trusting one's memories.
Interesting side note. Cecil's sculpture is the first ever 3D piece accepted into Talent Unlimited.

400 doesn’t seem like a big number except when you're talking 400 High School Career Strikeouts and then it’s HUGE! Congratulations Lauren Bascom (senior) on achieving this wonderful milestone in the 2nd inning of last night's game. ~Coach Gould & Coach Hunt
