Atatürk's Legacy Cumhuriyet School in New York commemorated Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic, with a program held ahead of 10 November. Students, teachers and guests came together at the event.
Türkiye's Consul General in New York, Ambassador Muhittin Ahmet Yazal, was also among those attending the program. The consulate thanked everyone who contributed and said it commemorated Atatürk on the 88th anniversary of his passing "with respect, mercy and gratitude."

Yazal addressed the participants from a lectern in front of a curtain bearing the words "10 November" and an image of Anıtkabir. Portraits of Atatürk and Turkish flags were displayed in the hall.

After the program, children dressed in red and white, some wearing T-shirts featuring Atatürk, gathered on stage with their teachers and guests for a group photograph.
The Consulate General of Türkiye in New York will also commemorate Atatürk on Tuesday, 10 November, at the Türkevi in Manhattan.
