We are thrilled to share the resounding success of our recent “Mastering Public Speaking” workshop, led by the esteemed Marleny Cruz, CEO of SOS Multi-media group. This event was a transformative experience for our middle school students, equipping them with essential communication skills and boosting their confidence in public speaking.

A highlight of the day was witnessing our students’ impressive improvisation skills during scripted scenarios. From reporting breaking news to delivering a weather forecast and guiding a museum tour, their creativity and poise on stage were commendable.

The Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School hosted its annual Spring Showcase, celebrating the diverse talents and hard work of our afterschool clubs. The evening featured captivating performances in dance, drama, singing, culinary arts, and visual creativity. We were honored to welcome Sara Peña, Director of External Affairs at PSEG and former Director at the New Jersey Department of State’s Center for Hispanic Policy, Research, and Development. During her visit, Ms. Peña engaged with our students in a Q&A session, allowing them to showcase their communication, public speaking, and media skills. The students dedicated significant time and effort to preparing for this special day, and their hard work and commitment were evident in their performances.
