Irvington Students Honored for Collaboration Skills

Irvington High School students were recognized by the school district in February for demonstrating collaboration in an exceptional way.

The 16 students give a Core Value Award were Amy Castaneda, Maya Castiblanco, Jared Egloff, Robert Goldberg, Edward Hansen, Ayushi Jha, Braden Kauff, Nicholas Lambiase, Matt Myers, Ajay Ramnarine, Graziana Ricciardella, Sarina Stein, Carli Stern, Jason Weg, Robin Weiss and Sarah Yarczuk.

One student said collaboration was important because it opens up people’s perspectives and broadens their horizon.

• September: 15 students for humor and joy.
