Happy Liberty Day, D. Hamilton Jackson Day, and Bull and Bread Day!

Bull & Bread Day reminds us of the enduring importance of free speech, labor rights, and community solidarity in the Virgin Islands.

Today, we commemorate David Hamilton Jackson and his fight for a free press, establishing the first labor union, and advocating for American citizenship, which were movements that forever changed the Virgin Islands. His courage and commitment to justice continues to inspire and mobilize generations of Virgin Islanders to build upon his legacy.

Jackson was an important figure in the struggle for increased civil rights and workers' rights on the islands. He petitioned for freedom of the press, and organized the St. Croix Labor Union. Following the transfer of the territory to American control in 1917, he lobbied for US citizenship for the islanders.

8th grader, Jared, leads his team of young learners. Great work, Mr. Cedo!

Students solved math problems before getting a treat. Mr. Jarvis knows he's got them thinking on this one- relaxing while they figure this one out.
