Second annual Juneteenth Jubilee a hit Malverne schools went all out for Juneteenth. The celebration saw colorful decorations, like the hand decal 12th grader Gabrielle Bernake applied for 8th grader Zhayden Tomlinson, and musical performances, like the rendition of ‘Lift Every Voice’ by Emily Sever and Maya Lewis. The event celebrates the anniversary of when slaves in Texas found out they were free, three years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. More photos, Page 3.
