Gracita stated "A special honor meeting with the Honorable Congress Woman Mrs. Yvette D. Clarcke and receiving from her several certificates of appreciation from the City of New York, including a certificate of special congressional recognition in recognition of outstanding and invaluable service to the community."
‘As stated during the acceptance speech Saturday evening a wonderful award ceremony among local dignitaries, friends and family, the highest esteem and admiration went out to the students and faculty of the school for its accomplishments to educating our children, because education is the great equalizer in the world. It was a special treat for me to meet and interact with the brilliant and well mannered young students of the MACADEMY, who are being prepared at an early age to be the ‘global leaders' for tomorrow".
Gracita concluded in a press release that being recognized for her contributions to Public administration, Good Governance and politics on St. Maarten inspires her to continue contributing to do public service to the people of St Maarten".
