Hello readers and welcome to another edition of Around Town.
Graduation
Congratulations to our grandson, Justin Michael Pereira, our buddy, and our inspiration on your graduation on Friday, June 23. You will begin a new and exciting journey. We wish you all the happiness and success in the world.
We are extremely proud of you and so pleased that you have filled the past six years at P.S. 14 with cherished memories. Always remember this: never run away from fear. Fear sharpens you. It challenges you and it makes you stronger. If you run away from fear, you also run away from the opportunity to be your best possible self! Enjoy life! Love, Nana, Papa, Titi Bree & Grandma Merc.
