Earlier this school year, two students from Udall Road Middle School successfully participated in the New York State Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages Student Project Competition. Ediel Parra Villaman and Ronal Zhiminaicela Puma designed posters of personal affirmations reflecting their language learning journeys and were awarded in December for their exceptional creativity. The affirmations were intended to inspire and empower fellow language learners. Their projects not only showcased their individual stories but also celebrated multilingualism and displayed its importance. The students received plaques and $100 awards. They are pictured with Udall Road Middle School Principal Dr. Daniel Marquardt, English as a New Language teacher Sophia Mastrangelo and English as a New Language Director Lauren Lay.
