Three students from Glen Cove High School won the Law Day photo contest held on May 6th at the Bar Association in Hauppauge. The contest's theme was 'Voices of Democracy,' focusing on democracy and citizenship. The winners, Sophia Petrizzo, Kayla Gretchyn, and Phoebe George, were recognized for their photographs that captured democratic values and civic engagement.

Sophia Petrizzo submitted 'Freedom to Play,' Kayla Gretchyn presented 'The Fight for Democracy,' and Phoebe George offered 'To the Polls.' These entries provided insights into the functioning of democracy and the role of citizens.

The event also marked the importance of the 2024 Law Day theme, reflecting on America's nearly 250-year history of democracy. It emphasized historical political expression and participation in elections, including the upcoming 60th presidential election.

Under the guidance of Ms. Johnides, the students demonstrated creativity and a commitment to democratic principles. Their work was acknowledged at the awards ceremony, which also highlighted the importance of youth involvement in discussions on democracy and citizenship.

Thought for the Day.. Democracy??His highness Robert De Niro accused Trump of being 'Hitler Like' and would Certainly crush 'our' democracy.I think we need to take a hard look atThe basis for these accusations as theLogic is interesting. Multi millionaire Elite liberals live in a completely different universe than we conservatives. They make lots of cash,often live in no entry neighborhoodsWith private armed security , they are seldom if ever audited, and even if the are audited the result is whitewashed.They are generally granted free passes from law enforcement!Think about it- when was the last time a criminal Democrat was convicted of anything?Yup..not often. So it's true! If Trump is elected, De Niro'sFree ride will end in November 2024.Go woke go broke. Everyone leaving Long Island Age is no barrier to lunacy. That this is is the Magna Carta they are attempting to destroy clearly demonstrates what liberals think of democracy.
