Rhys & Quinn Win Awards from Dream Big at the Lyric
Every year The Lyric holds an event to lift up the creativity and ideas of young people through the Dream Big contest. This year’s prompt was: “What is the one thing you would change to make the world a better place?” This year 12th grade student Rhys Guilfoyle won in the Dreamers category. His essay was on the need for action on climate change and his concern that not enough is being done about it with the younger generation having to take action. Quinn Guilfoyle won in the Strivers category with a poem about the importance of everyone in society being appreciated and having a voice.
Winners were honored on stage at The Lyric tonight in a culture-filled program including music by Antonio Eyez, two amazing dance performances, and a lively youth Brass Band from the BSO.
The program included footage on the big screen of The Lyric program at TCS with interviews of our students.
Congratulations to Rhys and Quinn and to all those honored at tonight’s event and a special thanks to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and our friends at The Lyric for celebrating and amplifying youth voices.
