Charles draws perfect AP score

As a senior at The Mary Louis Academy, Alina Charles last May became one of only 300 students worldwide to receive every possible point on the Advanced Placement 2-D Art and Design Exam, the Jamaica Estates school announced Nov. 1.

While at TMLA, Charles took numerous art classes. She also took the initiative to propose and organize the inaugural chapter of the National Art Honor Society.

Charles is currently studying Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design.

“Her achievement of earning a perfect score on the AP Exam is truly remarkable and a testament to her dedication and hard work,” TMLA said. Q

Students, faculty and staff at The Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates celebrated both “Halloween on the Hill” and the school’s 26th Annual “Walk-AThon” last week.

On Tuesday, the school community held the walk-a-thon. Students, faculty and staff came together for a bagel breakfast and dance party on the Senior Lawn to warm up and then headed out for their steps. Teacher Sylwia Schober and Sister Lorraine teamed up on a beautiful day to lead the effort, along with many parent volunteers.

On Thursday, the freshwomen and seniors held their traditional Halloween party, hosted by the TMLA National Honor Society.
