LGS in the Community

As I mentioned in my previous post, LGS scholars are eager to give back to the community.  Asif Zaman and I are working in Hempstead High School and teaching computer skills to adults.  However there are a number of LGS scholars who also work in Hempstead High School and the surrounding area.

  • Matthew Sanfillippo, an LGS junior, teaches computer classes at the Hempstead Hispanic Center.

  • LGS scholars Jean Castano, Maria Deras,  Dennise Edgerton, Stephanie Farkash,
    Carissa Grimaldi, Paige Hall, Carmen Jones, Samantha Mendoza, Amy
    Mikulski, Lendelle Raymond, Alejandra Singh, Ximena Valverde, and John
    Campana currently work as mentors to 9th grade students who fail their classes. 

  • April Hurley an LGS junior, teaches English to Spanish-speaking parents on Wednesday evenings


It's wonderful to see all of these students give back to their community!  Keep up the good work everyone!

To my fellow LGS students: If you're currently giving back to the community, send me an e-mail and let me know!  I'll make sure to write about it here in the blog.
