Thayne Rivera
Waldron Mercy Academy seventh-grader Thayne Rivera won the middle-school division of the Works Projects Administration poster contest, sponsored by the National Constitution Center. Students in kindergarten through high school were asked to create a poster about a current issue affecting the world. Rivera chose to focus on health care.
Rivera, a South Philadelphia resident, won a trip to the National Constitution Center for his class.
Residents Jennifer Francano and Cayleen Stuski were inducted into La Salle University’s Alpha Epsilon Society, which recognizes high academic achievement with community services. Francano is a marketing major and Stuski is a digital arts and multimedia design major.
During a sing-off among the best choirs in the region, Girard Academic Music Program, 22nd and Ritner streets, landed as one of the top-eight finalists. With more than 100 submissions flowing in to radio station B101’s morning show, GAMP’s “Halleluiah Chorus” was selected as a finalist in the inaugural competition.
