Thank you so much NYPAA for everything that you have done. A lot of interesting things happen almost every week for my daughter. Madison has gained a lot of incredible experiences since she became a part of the team. Inside and outside the classroom, she has cultivated creative skills with the encouragement and support of this great opportunity. These opportunities also broaden her knowledge beyond her field of study by providing a multicultural environment.
