Hello Family and Friends,

I am beyond thrilled to share some incredible news with you! My wonderful daughter, Rosalynn Padron, at just 13 years old, has been honored with a nomination for the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) in Washington, D.C. This recognition is thanks to her exceptional academic achievements and leadership potential at Hackensack Middle School, as recognized by Ms. Cioppa.

This prestigious program, commencing on July 13th, 2025, is a unique opportunity for Rosalynn. She will be able to experience life at the University of Maryland in Washington, D.C., preview college life, and hone her leadership skills. This will be an unforgettable experience that will shape her future in countless positive ways.

However, this honor comes with significant costs. The week-long program’s tuition is $3,145, not including expenses for transportation, food, and lodging. These additional costs make the total even more substantial.

I am incredibly proud of Rosalynn’s dedication, hard work, and character, which have earned her this remarkable opportunity. The school’s commitment to nurturing her leadership and academic potential fills my heart with gratitude.

We would deeply appreciate any support you can offer to help Rosalynn attend this transformative program. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on her educational journey and leadership development.

Thank you so much for considering and for being part of Rosalynn’s exciting journey.

Warmest regards,

Juan (Papa) and Iris (Mama)
