Westminster Academy 8th-grade student, Camilla Zayas-Cruz, performed as part of the Florida Youth Orchestra during the commemoration of Pearl Harbor’s 80 Anniversary on December 7 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The commemoration event included bands, choirs, and dance ensembles from across the United States but they were the only orchestra and the only group representing Florida. We look forward to seeing her commitment to excellence create even more opportunities to share the gifts and talents that God has given her. Congratulations Camilla!...
