Carmelo Anthony Stops By Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ

In many ways, the people in and around the hallways of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ on September 29th were no different than on any ordinary Saturday. There were students participating in a Hearn Tournament, studious 8th graders filling REACH Program classrooms, and department faculty busy gearing up for an upcoming Parents Back-To-School night.

But there was one uncommon presence: 6ft 8in, 5-time NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony. The standout Small Forward for the New York Knicks was on location in the Chemistry Laboratory to shoot a video for an upcoming vitamin commercial. Before leaving Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, Anthony, a 2012 Gold Medalist at the London Olympic Games, graciously posed for photos, spoke with a few students, and left an autographed basketball behind in the Chemistry Lab as a "thank you" to the Science department.
