Every Month, Newark City Schools honors 30 students in grades 4 through 12 from across the district as Citizens of the Month, for their leadership and actions inside and outside of the classroom. Students and their families are invited to a lunch in their honor to celebrate their achievements. The May Citizen of the Month luncheon was sponsored by Marathon. High school musicians from the band and orchestra programs each performed: a saxophone quartet, a horn and flute duet, and a viola quartet. You can view a Facebook photo album by clicking this link.
