As part of their commemoration of Earth Day, students at New Visions participated in an Earth Day poster contest sponsored by New York State Sen. John E. Brooks.
The state senator visited the school to present a citation to the winner of the contest, second-grader Sabrina Turcios, who worked under the direction of art teacher Nancy Williams. She had the honor of having her beautiful work on display in Albany for a month. Sen. Brooks also presented certificates to all students who participated in the contest and discussed the importance of caring for the planet.
