Over the weekend, SPS alumni Chloe Simner was honored to sing with Kristen Chenowith at a concert in New Jersey.  Moving one step closer to her dream of performing on Broadway, Simner stepped into a green dress to take the the role of Elphaba for one night with the original Glinda on Broadway, Kristen Chenowith, at her concert. She sang to a full house of 1300+ patrons including Stephen Schwartz (the composer of Wicked). Chloe attended Davenport Ridge Elementary, Scofield and Stamford High.

Marcela Aju Mejia (12) was awarded "Best Interview" at the high school level by the Connecticut Press Club for her interview with Dr. Lucero last year.  Marcela’s interview was featured on The Round Table, the Stamford High student-run digital news outlet.

Two other SHS students received "Honorable Mention" for their work - Daniel Campos (12), for his feature story on his childhood cancer experience, and Esther Jean-Charles (11), for her editorial on school bathrooms.

Marcela accepted her award from Thomas Renner of the CT Press Club on Wednesday night at their annual awards dinner in Westport at the Saugatuck Rowing Club.
