These students spent their Spring Break in New York, expanding their interest in the arts.
While some Hillsborough County students chose to stay around the house, do nothing and ‘catch up’ on some sleep, 25 students with interest in some form of the arts traveled to New York with a few instruc- tors.
Mrs. “Cookie” Madeily- nann Mitchell, Art Instruc- tor, NAHS (National Art Honor Society) Sponsor, SOCA (Stu- dents of Color Association) Sponsor, and Head Coach Girls and Boys Volleyball at Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, was accompanied on the trip by Mrs. Lenny C.
