Isaac Regnier, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, successfully petitioned for a full week off before Christmas, advocating for a school calendar change due to the unusual scheduling.
Mayor Eric Adams praised Regnier’s efforts, saying, 'Isaac, he was able to get this victory, and I think it's going to cascade throughout the entire school system that young people are going to know their voice matters.'
Regnier expressed pride in his achievements, stating, 'I feel so proud of myself for all that hard work I did, even with the advocating and those emails... I still made it a success.'
