Shepherd Glen Elementary School

Trinity Jones, a 2nd grade student at Church Street School, earned a Social Justice Warrior award to raise awareness about Juneteenth and have it recognized as a federal holiday.  Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19th and many African Americans celebrate it as their Independence Day (Emancipation Day - the end of slavery).  

Trinity recorded two songs with UmoJamz to honor traditions celebrated for this holiday and participated in a Kickstarter campaign that funded the UmoJamz' Juneteenth Virtual Block Party that was shared with Church Street students.  

Hamden Public Schools is proud of Trinity's example of how a young person can promote social justice in her community! Keep up the great work.

Throughout the year, so many of our students and staff members at Hamden Public Schools go above and beyond. They are shining beacons of our core values and the district honors those who make our schools a better place every day.
