antararaja24@gmail.com Hello, my name is Antara Raja! I am the President of ConnectedLearning, and a sophomore at Irvington High School. This organization was founded because we believe that students should still receive a good education while having fun, especially when schools around the country were closed due to the pandemic. I am excited to expand this organization in the future and help positively impact students’ education. Some activities I enjoy outside of school include traveling, running, singing, and baking.

navyansk07@gmail.com Hello! My name is Navya Saravanakumar! I am the Vice President of ConnectedLearning and a sophomore at Irvington. I am excited to see this organization grow. Once I started tutoring, I loved it because watching students pick up things quickly and use their new knowledge gave me a rewarding feeling. I believe it’s important to give back to the community especially during times like the pandemic. Several students had limited education which further affected them in following years. Some of my hobbies include dancing, singing, reading, and writing.
