  WHEREAS,  It  is  the intent of this Legislative Body to commend and
pay tribute to those young people who, by achieving outstanding  success
in  educational  competition,  have  inspired  and  brought pride to our
majestic Empire State; and

Challenge with their production of "Flossy Podcast"; and

  WHEREAS, The Northeast Public Radio Podcast Challenge was offered to
teachers  with students 5th - 12th Grade; the students were asked to put
together a podcast between three to 12 minutes long with their class  or
extracurricular group; and

the  Challenge  with  their  winning podcast submission "Flossy Podcast"
which was about Climate Change and Environmental Racism; and

  WHEREAS, The members of the club met  twice  a  week;  the  meetings
