Both Sagarese and Conte’s former Italian teacher Francesca Calio encouraged her to enter the singing portion of the contest after hearing her sing “Caruso” during the school’s Foreign Language Week.

“We’re getting the students involved in competitions and trying to spread our culture in a positive light,” Calio said.

Both Sagarese and Calio are so proud of Conte for showcasing her talents and being recognized. As a result of her first-place win, Conte was invited to the AATI, LI Annual Luncheon and Scholarship Awards Ceremony on May 6 where she was officially honored.
