At the conference, our teachers accepted a plaque on behalf of the L.I.S. students. The plaque was awarded to L.I.S. for raising over $20,000 last year for our combined Jump Rope & Hoops for Heart events, making us #1 in the state of New Jersey!

Our teachers also had the opportunity to hear from and meet with the motivational keynote speaker for the day, Gian Paul Gonzalez.  Click HERE to see his story about helpinginspiring the N.Y. GIANTS to go "ALL IN" .
