“I am so grateful for the Plainfield School District 202 Foundation for Excellence and the Horizon Grant for the opportunity to learn and live hip hop this summer,” said Ava Florez, Plainfield North High School senior.
Florez attended the “Illinois Summer Youth Music Hip-Hop” camp at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in July thanks to the Horizon Grant.
“During the week I worked with experienced music hip hop artists and like-minded people my age to create a hip hop song from scratch which we performed at the end of the week in the Canopy Club,” Florez said.
She also attended master classes and listened to lectures from musical experts.
“We learned a lot not just about making music but the history behind it and stories about the people who do it,” she said. “It was a truly incredible experience.”
The Foundation awarded 2024 Horizon Grants to six students to help pay for summer learning enrichment experiences that broaden their academic horizons and explore areas of interest.

Welcome Tigers!!
Check out this amazing self-portrait painted by Plainfield North High School incoming senior Liam McManaman.
He crafted this artwork while attending the FAA Summer Intensive program at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign last month.
McManaman attended the immersive, weeklong program thanks to receiving a Horizon Grant from the Plainfield School District 202 Foundation for Excellence.
“It was wonderful to be given a chance to experience a sense of college and what the future may hold, and I am incredibly appreciative of the chance I was given as the intensive was one of the most exciting parts of my summer,” McManaman said.
Participants were also able to enjoy evening activities such as bowling, movies on the Quad, exploring campus, scavenger hunts, and museum trips, plus a special session at the school’s Japan House.
“The program was so much more exciting because it went beyond just making art on campus,” McManaman said. “It was truly a joy!”
