Students in the @writeonsports camp at Montclair State interviewed guest athlete Natalie Nevins, a soccer player for St. Joseph's! The students asked questions about her career, balancing school and sports, and her future goals.
Write on Sports helps students improve their writing skills by encouraging their interest in sports and journalism. The program includes summer camps and after school programs. Their 10 summer camps host over 200 children across New Jersey and other northeast locations, including Connecticut.
We applaud WoS and their programs which encourage students to hone their writing and communication skills, and even discover a career in journalism.

An incredible dancer from @smapa_dance's Contemporary Modern dance class!

Their goal is for children with hearing loss to develop language, speech, and communication skills commensurate with those of hearing peers and for their parents and other caregivers to have the information and strategies to foster this development throughout childhood.
