We are the Social Justice Club at Dr. Frank J Hayden SS. Last year was the first year that our

school was open and some things that we accomplished were Pink Day and We Are Silent.  This year our focus

is on Free the Children, so far we have spoken at a conference about children’s rights, raised money to buy a goat,

hosted Pink Day and below you can find a slideshow that we have made about Children’s Rights, videos on our

events and a picture of our club.
