During the recent Hampton City Council Legislative Session, significant discussions centered around a successful summer program led by Miss Moore, which showcased the talents of local youth. City Manager, who attended the program's graduation event, expressed admiration for the participants' work and highlighted the program's alignment with the Academies of Hampton.
