Orinda Academy (OA) senior Elizabeth Agramont-Justiniano - who will attend Colgate University in Hamilton, New York in the fall - is a 2009 recipient of the "A Better Chance Academic Achievement Award." A Better Chance is a national nonprofit that works to change the life trajectory for academically talented youth of color via access to rigorous and prestigious educational opportunities in grades 6-12. OA Junior Dylan Marcus received an honorable mention award in recognition of his musical talent in the "Talented and Learn Differently Contest" from the Parent Education Network. Dylan has produced his own digital music using Logic and Reason software and designed the Web site, www.biodmusic.com , where his music can be found. Dylan designed the site after taking a multimedia class offered at Orinda Academy. The site was featured at the recent Education Revolution 2009 conference held at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
