Nina Sky is back with 'y-2-que;' Yonkers school honors Sonya Sotomayor; kids explore Costa Rica

The Boricua musical duo Nina Sky is back. Yhe twins burst onto the music scene with their infectious debut single “Move Ya Body" in the mid-2000's. The dancehall-infused track dominated the airwaves and clubs alike. Now the sisters have a new project "y-2-que" they want to share with us.         *** We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we learn about a new school in Yonkers after proud Boricua and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.         Sotomayor, a Bronx native, was on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The school is a dual-language, bi-cultural, community based institution. *** A group of students from our area spent their summer break in Costa Rica. The students went there to help restore public schools while they learned about global issues such as climate change and poverty. The kids also cooked traditional dishes, learned about the economic and social structure of the country and even milked cows and harvested coffee. The Global Kids nonprofit made the educational trip a reality. The organization partners with schools to offer an array of services. And it helps to develop active global citizens and prepare them for success in an ever-changing world.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
