Racial justice alliance awards H.O. Brittingham Elementary students
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice recently honored H.O. Brittingham Elementary students Sophia Winkfield, Kahden Cannon and Aliyah Harmon for their demonstration of leadership, improvement, effort and excellence.
Teachers say Sophia is an outstanding fifth-grade leader and all-around awesome kid. Sophia is a very motivated student who wants to do well, but more importantly, she is a cheerleader for others.
Kahden is a hardworking, charismatic leader in second grade. He is an exceptional reader who also excels in math. Kahden is always willing to assist other students in the classroom.
Fifth-grader Aliyah is always kind to everyone. She has a great work ethic and supports her peers in the classroom. Aliyah is also involved in the robotics program.
Each student received a $20 gift card to Browseabout Books in Rehoboth and a book about Thurgood Marshall, the first Black Supreme Court justice.
SDARJ’s education committee initiated the award to recognize students in the Cape district who represent ideals of leadership, effort and excellence in their schools. A nonpartisan organization, SDARJ educates, informs and advocates for racial justice, equality and fair opportunity. For more information, go to sdarj.org.
