SABRINA AMOH '16 - A SCANLAN CHEERLEADER MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN A LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE
When Michelle Padilla '99 told Cheerleading Coach, Sherema Fleming '99, that she was having a Cheerleading-Themed Birthday Party for her 5-year-old daughter, Serenity, excitement grew! Little Serenity loves Cheerleaders and talks about them all of the time. Therefore, it made perfect sense to have a cheerleader join her at her birthday party on Valentine's Day.
Despite any plans that she may have had for that day and the extremely frigid weather, Senior, Sabrina Amoh stepped up to the plate for her team and her school and made a grand appearance at Serenity's Birthday Party. It was an extreme delight for the little girls to take a picture with a "real cheerleader." Serenity was beyond excited as she noticed that she and Sabrina were wearing the same sneakers. Not only did Sabrina attend the party, but she also spoke about her experiences as a Scanlan Cheerleader and presented Serenity with a birthday gift on behalf of her team. We are proud of Sabrina and her accomplishments as a student and her dedication to her cheerleading team. We know that she will continue to
excel as she graduates from Scanlan and heads to Delaware State University to study Corporate Law. Thank you, Sabrina, for making a difference!

CAMPUS LANDSCAPING PROJECT BEGINS
A beautification project is underway on our 13 acre campus thanks to efforts of our Governing Board and the generosity of the Sponzilli Landscape Group who provided our school with a pro-bono landscaping plan that includes the planting of Shade Trees, Ornamental Trees and Evergreens. Phase I began during the school winter break week when Almstead Tree spent much time on our campus removing diseased and dead trees.
As we move ahead with our landscaping project, we are looking for alumni and friends who can assist us with various aspects of this project. We are in need of trees,
equipment, topsoil, pavers, etc. If you are willing to assist us in this endeavor and/or donate product, please contact the Scanlan Alumni Office at (718) 430-0100 X58.
