Congratulations to Cassidy O'Garro!

The grade 11 student was honored with the 2023 Artistic Expression Award, in the high school division, at a ceremony hosted by the Youth Bureau of Albany County.

She was nominated by Albany High School teacher Krissy Monahan.

The Youth Recognition Awards honors those who have overcome adversity, shown tremendous resiliency and growth, athletic achievement, artistic expression or demonstrated their citizenship and civic engagement through community service. 

In the City School District of Albany, Lily Graber, from North Albany Middle School, received the George Roe Athletic Achievement Award and two Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School students, Sarah Horne and Eh Thay Wah, were recognized for community service and leadership at the same banquet.
