Abraham Stockton School, and IS 33, Mark Hopkins Intermediate School, 
located in Bedford Stuyvesant.
  Mr. Green was born February 15, 1991 and 7 short years ago joined and 
was baptized, in June of 2000, at New Canaan Baptist Church. Since 
joining New Canaan Mr. Green has been actively involved with five 
ministries; the RJL Youth Choir, the Junior Male Chorus, the Usher

this wonderful young man.
