  •  Student Artwork Commissioned by Teacher Vincent Natale

    Student Artwork Commissioned by Teacher Vincent Natale

    For years, Jr./Sr. High School Social Studies teacher Vincent Natale has commissioned his 8th grade students to create historical artwork matching the curriculum unit on American History. The kids have stepped up through the years with imagination and a passion to display their artistic renderings on the walls of J25. Every two years, Mr. Natale paints over the muraled wall, clearing the palette for the next round of students to tackle the same challenge. Recently, some seniors approached him (envious of this task) as they wanted to participate in the same art challenge. He shared, “ I agreed, and a few came up with a mid-sized, very cool painted graphic with the theme of "Flying off to college.” Thank you to our 8th graders for inspiring some older classmates, and kudos to seniors Julia Schaffer and Sophie DeMarco for their love of art and showcasing their talent before they take their leave from the high school classroom to the college campus.

The summit included personal meetings and receptions with senators and representatives from New York. He attended alongside 16 other Gold Medal winners from NY state and 6 from our congressional district. The Congressional Award is Congress’s only charity and the highest honor for youth civilians bestowed by Congress.
