Posted

Five Hewlett High School students captured two Quill awards at Adelphi University Press Day last month for their work on the school’s newspaper, The Spectrum.

Aryana Borjas and Ibrahim Rasheed took first place in the Best Layout category.

Divya Maharaj, Leeya Azemoun and Sidrah Ashrafi placed second in the Best Opinion Piece category for their editorial.

Press Day offers students an opportunity to explore their passion for media as they hear from professionals in the industry, including newspaper and magazine editors, online and newspaper reporters, and freelance writers. Awards are given in nine categories.
