Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
CHEYENNE, WY – Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders won his eighth of the last nine primaries against frontrunner Hillary Clinton in Wyoming on April 9, by a 56-to-44 percent victory, ten days ahead of the critical New York contest, on which all eyes are focused.
Sanders only captured 7 delegates to Clinton’s 6, thus leaving him considerably behind in the race, particularly since the vast majority of superdelegates are committed to Clinton. But with the momentum having shifted strongly to Sanders’ favor, a solid showing in New York – which is is home state but also the state that Clinton served for eight years in the U.S. Senate – might give cause for some of the superdelegates to change allegiances.
On the Republican side, Donald Trump continues to hold a commanding lead over his rivals in New York – also his home state – ahead of the April 19 primary, with his main rival Ted Cruz in third place, behind John Kasich.
