Essex County YAM 2019


For the month of March 2019, the Hall of Records in Newark, NJ was turned into a vibrant art gallery. Nearly 115 pieces of student generated artwork were exhibited for the entire month from students all across Essex County. Participated schools ranged from technical schools to public schools to parochial schools. 


Students, parents, caregivers, administrators, and teachers were invited to attend a gala reception at the end of the month hosted by AENJ in conjunction with Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo and almost 300 people were in attendance! 

 On hand to provide remarks, as well as presenting certificates of achievement to Essex County students was Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo. Students were called up individually to receive their certificates from Mr. DiVincenzo. A professional photographer was on hand to take photos of the students and teachers with their families, as well as with the Essex County government officials. 

 At the conclusion of the awards ceremony, all in attendance were provided with a lunch. A week after the program took place, students and teachers were provided with copies of all the photos, generously donated by the county.
