The Juniors also thanked the judges: Cheryl Ashley, director of the Verona Public Library; Corisa Walker, library media specialist at F.N. Brown and Brookdale schools; and Director of Curriculum Charles Miller, who kindly volunteered their time for the morning. Diana Weeks and Joanna Rybak organized the event for the Verona Juniors and Verona Juniors President Erika Grothues announced the words.

The Juniors address Verona’s diverse needs by promoting education, preserving natural resources, encouraging healthy lifestyles, working on behalf of the elderly and people with disabilities, supporting participation in the arts and advocating for issues of concern to women, children and families.
