Trenton council honors NAACP ACTSO students headed to national competition
Summary
The Trenton City Council recognized NAACP ACTSO students for winning medals in regional competition and encouraged them as they prepare for the national finals in Chicago; council members asked for copies of materials and invited post-trip follow-ups.
The Trenton City Council recognized a group of local students who qualified for the NAACP ACTSO national competition, praising their academic, artistic and scientific achievements and wishing them luck for the event in Chicago next week.
Councilwoman Crystal Feliciano introduced the honorees and read their names, saying the council was proud of their achievements. An acting NAACP representative described the students’ schools and projects, noting gold- and other medalists among the group. Council members urged the students to share their materials after the trip and to return to City Hall so the council could hold a celebratory reception if they bring home medals.

The acting NAACP representative thanked the council and named several adult volunteers who supported the program.
The recognition concluded with a brief photo opportunity and the council moved on to its scheduled agenda.
