NY Junior Tennis & Learning showcases student work at ACES celebration at Lehman College
Summary
New York Junior Tennis & Learning held its ACES celebration of the arts at Lehman College, spotlighting student performances, art exhibits and the ACES program's role serving students with special needs and offering leadership opportunities.
New York Junior Tennis & Learning (NYJTL) shifted part of its programming from courtside to Lehmans College for an ACES celebration that put student art, performance and academic work on display.
Reporter Chris Camilla said ACES showcases a day of performances and awards for participating elementary and middle school students and offers pathways for students with special needs toward academic and life skills.
Program staff described ACES as allowing students to explore interests and leadership, and students' artwork and writings were presented in a curated exhibit. One commentator said, “art allows kids to speak and express themselves in ways that sometimes they don't have the words to.”
The segment emphasized after-school supports rather than formal program funding details or policy changes.
