TES student wins civil rights award

THETFORD—Shrugging, Londyn Oshoniyi suddenly feels the weight of everyone’s eyes upon her slender shoulders as she sits between her mother on her right and her father on her left. It was a big day for an 11-year-old sixth grader at Thetford Elementary School.
Standing straight and tall, Londyn Oshoniyi arrived at the library at Thetford Elementary School on Friday afternoon with her mother, Tippi Oshoniyi, to receive a Human and Civil Rights award from the Vermont National Education Association. Her father, Adegboyega “Bo” Oshoniyi, had arrived a few minutes before.
