Maine West Student Delivers TEDx Talk on Intergenerational Connection in Tinley Park

Maine West Student Delivers TEDx Talk on Intergenerational Connection in Tinley Park

Hadia Miriam, an 11th-grade student from Maine West, recently delivered a speech at the inaugural TEDxTinley Park event in early October. Her talk focused on the theme of 'Intergenerational Connection,' a topic deeply rooted in her personal experiences growing up in a cross-generational household. Miriam was inspired to participate after watching a TEDx Talk online and subsequently discovered the local Tinley Park event. She pitched her idea to organizers and was selected as one of 14 speakers. Her speech explored the challenges and invaluable assets of intergenerational living, further fueled by her uncle's dementia diagnosis, which sparked her interest in neurodegenerative diseases and the potential role of human connection. Miriam also founded 'Generations Connect at Maine West,' a club that facilitates interactions between high school students and local senior citizens, including intergenerational events and a pen-pal program. She received support from Maine West educators, including Math Teacher Karri...

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Opts State into Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham Opts State into Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on November 4, 2026, that New Mexico will opt into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC). This decision aims to create new funding opportunities for public schools, supporting initiatives such as literacy and math programs, after-school activities, and computer resources. The FSTC allows taxpayers to claim a federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 annually ($3,400 for joint filers) for qualifying cash donations to approved nonprofit scholarship-granting organizations (SGOs). These donations will fund scholarships for K-12 students in both public and private schools, covering expenses like academic tutoring, special education services, technology, books, supplies, and public school fees for supplemental programs.
