Newtown High School Interim Principal Jeffrey Jaslow was the first to congratulate the assembled students Wednesday, June 4, during the school’s Annual Awards Night for Seniors.

The high school annually holds two nights to highlight both seniors and underclassmen who earn awards and scholarships. During both nights, students were announced as award recipients by either representatives of the award or representatives of the school district or schools.

“Welcome to all of you,” Mr Jaslow said, before acknowledging Kitty Latowicki, the school’s Career Center coordinator, for her work in making the nights possible.

After Mr Jaslow spoke briefly, the awards were announced.

The school’s Annual Awards Night for Underclassmen was held the following night, on Thursday, June 5.
