Today’s Election Day!! Lots of great candidates for city council in my district. My parents have a lot of friends helping @evie4us & my Dad got a call from @VoteBullaro to ask for his vote. Yesterday afterschool I met @tiffany_caban who’s also running ! Good luck to everyone !!
Today we honor all those who served and died serving in our Armed Services . My grandpa served in the Navy in WW2 and came home safe but lost lots of his friends there. Have a great Memorial Day.
Delighted to share this preview of our upcoming video for the song ESPERANZA, the title track of our new record! ✨ Full Video available on our YouTube channel THIS FRIDAY, MAY 28th to celebrate the release of our album 💛 #esperanza
Today I went to @PS17Queens to set up my @NYCKidsRISE account to celebrate 529 Day . It’s a savings account for college and there is already money in it just by setting it up !! Plus my school gave me a goody bag!! #Together529#Juntos529
Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.
Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.
Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.
Yesterday after school I went to @PS17Queens & to help with our school garden!! It was so much fun. I got to help plant basil , onions, zucchini. We even have strawberries. I’m also growing a bean plant , some marigolds & zinnias at home .
Wow!! I’m in the New York Times!!! Thanks to my Mom and Dad for all the help ! Also thanks to my school @PS17Queens and everyone who makes our school so great . And of course @AOC for the inspiration!! Remember to be kind to one another and yourself!!
@zackstanton@AlexThomp To answer your question , we have two Senators for each grade starting at 1st grade . We also have a President and Vice President. Right now those two positions are held by 5th graders .
@PS17Queens These look great!! I wrote a non-fiction book about planets and I also talked about galaxies!! Earth is in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way .
Our first two Lunch Bunches were a big success!! I can’t wait for next weeks when we begin to celebrate everyone’s uniqueness with Respect For All month. We will celebrate our cultures , Women Empowerment , Black History and our families during the month.
Today I fulfilled one of my campaign promises to help bring our @PS17Queens community together!! We had our first Lunch Bunch! Now kids can get together with old and new school friends , chat , share and play games!! Student government is working hard!

This is so awesome @AOC & a great idea! I want to start a buddy program for homework at my school where kids in higher grades can help kids in the lower grades!! How can I help spread the word about this? Also good luck! I am in first grade so if you need any tips let me know😃.
Quick update on our Homework Helper program: I was just assigned my first family! 🤗

Today is International #EducationDay . I have been learning remote at @PS17Queens during the pandemic but many don’t have the tools they need for that. Education is a human right we should all fight for! What are some ways we can support that ? Let me know !
Today @PS17Queens @ps234q and @ps300 got together to host a food drive for families in need from our schools. They didn’t allow kids to go for our own safety but my Mom and other volunteers helped set up and give out food. Thanks everyone who helped out.
