New York Life Savannah Presents
$27,500 Check To SCCPSS
New York Life’s
Savannah General Of
fice presented a check for
$27,500 to the Savannah
Chatham County Public
School System last Mon
day, June 4, for participat
ing in the New York Life
Grief-Sensitive Schools Ini
tiative.
Over the past sev
eral years, the New York
Life Foundation, the char
itable arm of the company,
in partnership with Nation
al Center of School Crisis
and Bereavement, has been
working with the leading
K-12 education profession
al organizations to form the
Coalition to Support Griev
ing Students to develop a set
of materials and a website,
www. grieving students. org.
The Coalition
found through a survey that
just seven percent of school
teachers feel adequately
prepared to help grieving
students when they return to
the classroom, even though
70 percent of them have
a grieving student in their
classroom at any given time.
Studies show that a child’s
unresolved grief can have a
social and emotional impact
on him or her, leading to
behavioral issues and poor
performance in school.
Stacy Abrams Invited To Speak At
Juneteenth In Wells Park!
The Daughters of
Mary Magdalene have invit
ed the Democratic Nominee
for Governor Stacy Abrams
to speak at the Historical
Juneteenth Festival on Sat
urday, June 16. The Hon
ors Program will begin at
11am at Wells Park (38th
St. & Montgomery St.).
The history of Juneteenth
and Ms. Abrams winning
the Democratic Nominee
is interrelated. Prior to the
independence of our Black
enslaved people, people
like Frederick Douglass,
Harriet Tubman, Sojourner
Truth and many more strong
Black people fought to get
legislation passed for our
complete freedom. Once
we were treed on June 19th,
Stacey Abrams
1865, they continued to fight
for Black political power in
Congress! As a result of the
struggle and courage of our
enslaved ancestors, Black
people; such as, Hiram Rev
els: first African American
to join the Senate, P.B.S.
Pinchback: first Black Gov
ernor in the U.S. where able
to gain powerful positions
in Congress.
One hundred and
fifty three years later, Stacy
Adam’s vision is the same
as our Juneteenth ancestors.
They were determined to
gain equality, freedom and
justice for all people. In
addition, they where deter
mined to prove that in spite
of slavery and unfair treat
ment, they were going to
keep on pushing until they
saw the light of freedom.
