Racial justice alliance awards HOB students
H.O. Brittingham Elementary students Aalyna Johnson and Tyler Taylor were recognized Feb. 17 with the African American/Black Achievement Award from the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice.
Principal Kyle Bentley said Aalyna and Tyler came to mind immediately when nominations were requested for the award. Both fifth-graders serve on the school leadership team and are role models for all remote and in-person students.
“Aalyna is a kind and caring young lady who always has a smile on her face,” Bentley said. “Tyler is a creative young man who is always willing to help when needed.”
Each student received a $15 gift card to Browseabout Books in Rehoboth; SDARJ contributes $10 to each gift card, and Browseabout contributes $5.
SDARJ’s education committee initiated the award to recognize students who represent ideals of leadership, effort and excellence in their schools. Two students from each school in the Cape Henlopen School District will be recognized.
SDARJ is a nonpartisan organization that educates, informs and advocates for racial justice, equality and fair opportunity. For more information, go to sdarj.org.
