The Amityville School District is proud to announce that three Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School students were named as winners in State Sen. Monica R. Martinez’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay and Art contest.

Park Avenue students Sussan Turcios Castro, Danna Flores Cornejo and Emely Espinal were honored for their artwork. The contest was held in conjunction with Senator Martinez’s recognition of Black History Month. Participants were tasked with writing an essay or creating a work of art that pays tribute to those who continue to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy or demonstrates how we can build bridges between all communities.

Senator Martinez will have lunch with Park Avenue’s winners, and all of the school’s students who participated in the contest will receive a certificate.
