Mary Kostas
was accepted to Camp O’ Connor's highly selective 2018 summer program. She, along with 47 students (7th and 8th graders), attended Camp O’Connor from June 4-8.
Mary had the opportunity to learn more about the three branches of government, run a mock election, and along with fellow participants, had the opportunity to visit the Arizona Supreme Court, Phoenix City Hall, the Capitol, and other landmarks around Phoenix. Mary also had the privilege of meeting the Arizona Chief Justice, Scott Bales, the Interim Mayor of Phoenix, Thelma Williams, and others.
Mary Kostas would like to thank Mr. Murphy for his letter of recommendation which allowed her to attend this wonderful camp!
