Community Pantry at GHS: Meeting the Students Where They Are

PTA volunteers Jennette Leal and Maureen Harper were busy before spring break sending students home with fresh produce and items like bags of beans and rice their families can use for meal prep. The community pantry at GHS was originally started by Folsom House administrator Andrew Byrne and assistant dean Laura Boyd to help about 40 students. Word of mouth spread and they quickly learned there are more students in need.

YWCA Greenwich’s Stand Against Racism: Let’s Have The Talk

By: |

“Childhood should be a magical time of wonder and exploration. Most importantly, it should be a time of innocence. It should. However, that is not the case. The complications of the world often meet young Black children before they are ready. To borrow from the popular adage, if Black kids are old enough to experience and understand racism, then their non-Black counterparts should be able to do the same.” – Mary Lee Kiernan, President & CEO, YWCA Greenwich; Simone Quartey, Director, YWCA Greenwich’s Center for Equity & Justice; and Ali Morgan, Education Consultant, Keynote for 2026 Stand Against Racism Continue Reading →

Justice Dept Sues New Haven Over Alleged “Sanctuary Policies; CT Officials Respond

By: |

The case, filed in the District of Connecticut, is the latest action from the Justice Department targeting what they say are illegal sanctuary policies across the country.
“It is our policy and the law of the state of Connecticut to respect and honor immigrant workers and families, and we welcome their contributions to our state. It is a shame that the President and the Department of Justice are not focused on public safety but are wasting federal resources on attacking Connecticut with a baseless lawsuit that has no foundation in law or fact. Connecticut is not a ‘sanctuary’ state, whatever that means.” – CT Attorney General William Tong
