St. Augustine Academy Bridgeport

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, the day on June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas -- more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in our nation's journey toward freedom and justice.

As a Catholic school community, we recognize that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and possesses inherent dignity and worth. Juneteenth reminds us of the importance of confronting injustice, honoring the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, and continuing to build a society rooted in respect, equality, and love of neighbor.

May this day inspire us to learn from our history, celebrate the gift of human dignity, and recommit ourselves to living out the Gospel values of justice, compassion, and peace.

Creativity, teamwork, and imagination were on full display at lunchtime! 🎭✨

Our fourth graders designed and built their own puppet theater using household materials, then brought their stories to life with a student-created puppet show. We love seeing our students use their God-given talents to create, collaborate, and inspire one another. 💙📚
