4 Paterson Students Picked For Gifted Princeton Summer Program

One of my students from School #5 last year, Jiovanni LaBoy, was selected for this great learning opportunity.  Great job, Jio!  And great job to the rest of the students as well!  I'll try and get to Don Bosco, JFK, and School #9 on Monday and get some video interviews with all 5 students (one was selected as an alternate, a plenty worthy honor just as well) so you can hear about their great accomplishments directly from them all.

PATERSON, NJ – Four city students have received scholarships to the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) at prestigious Princeton University.


The students are Samar Al Khudairi of School #9, Melanie Hoyos of Don Bosco Tech,  Jiovanni LaBoy of  Don Bosco Tech and Frankcarlos Castro of Kennedy High (STEM). The alternate, who will attend if one of the four winners cannot go, is Maria Rios of Don Bosco Tech.


The program provides a “unique environment for gifted and talented students to connect with peers in a community of like-minded learners from all over the world who share common interests, abilities and goals,’’ according to a statement issued by Paterson Public Schools. “Together students learn responsibility, self-motivation, community participation, and respect for others.’’
