A Matter OF MERIT
ROMIG, HARLEY RYAN and ANTHONY SALAZAR, who have been named National Merit Finalists based on their performance on the PSAT. The distinction places them among the top 15,000 of the 1.5 million students who entered the 2021 competition.
There’s no doubting the healing power of dance—or, in the case of the Miracle Network Dance Marathon, its fundraising potential. In January, the Pace Miracle Knights team, led by senior SYDNEY SILVERSTEIN, pulled off an all-day dance party to support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), a Children’s Miracle Network hospital. The event was the culmination of months of hard work during which the team raised money and awareness for CHOA’s life-saving mission. “CHOA has always held special meaning for my family and me,” Silverstein says. “The hospital saved my sister’s life when she was born, and I wanted to give back. I hope that the Miracle Knights will continue to grow and become a program that all Pace students want to join.” This year’s Miracle Knights team generated $33,505 for CHOA and is the only high-school group in the history of the Georgia program to surpass $20,000.
