Established in 1964, the program recognizes and honors our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. 4,000 candidates are identified annually and 161 students will be named as U.S. Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for a high school student. Candidates are chosen on the basis of their accomplishments in many areas – academic success, leadership and involvement in school and community. Scholars will be named in early May. Congratulations, Bagatur and Junyoung! Bagatur Askaryan Junyoung Lee Bryden Students Celebrate Diversity with Carlos Jones and the Plus Band Throughout the year, Bryden has celebrated the diversity in our classrooms with “Feature Fridays,” a weekly program where families share their heritage with classmates through a presentation, craft, song or story. Bryden students were fortunate enough to receive a visit from Carlos Jones and the Plus Band for an allschool celebration! The band played Jaimaican Reggae music favorites, “Don’t Worry Be Happy,”“Nursery Rhyme,” and “Where Reggae Comes From,” to name a few. Carlos emphasized the drum as an educational focal point. The assembly was organized by second grade teacher Kate D’Angelo and Special Education Assistant Janet Wasserman.
