Congratulations to the young sister.
However, if she is Lennox Linton’s daughter, then every none valedictorian or none salutatorian should receive the same splash on DNO.
ADMIN: We should celebrate the positive achievements of all Dominicans regardless of their parentage. However, she is not Lennox Linton’s daughter.
Congratulations this young lady and all who were instrumental in her development and providing the opportunity.
