Our 8th graders had a surprise encounter with Mayor Ras Baraka on their walk back to NJ LEEP's office from their field trip to The Newark Museum! It was such an exciting moment for our students to meet such a dedicated leader in our community. Thank you Mayor Baraka for taking the time to meet with the kids and capture this memorable moment with a picture! #collegeaccess #collegereadiness #NJLEEP City of Newark
