Early Education
Preschool student Sirron Owens, 4, learned about activisim and justice during a “Civil Rights Day” put on by the Greater Waterbury YMCA and the Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities in September. Dozens of YMCA students enjoyed a book reading, coloring activities and a puppet show all centered on exploring human rights. Afterwards the kids participated in a Civil Rights March as they paraded around the Green in downtown Waterbury. The program was initiated by Phyllis Lucas-Coleman, the Child Development Site Director at the Greater Waterbury YMCA.
