No School Reminder: Juneteenth

Monday, June 20th, 2022—In observance of Juneteenth, there will be no school on Monday, June 20^th. We look forward to welcoming back the Atoms on Tuesday, June 21^st.

For those not familiar with Juneteenth, it commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The origins of the commemoration date back to June 19^th,1865, when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, first heard that the Civil War had ended, and they were free. Juneteenth gets its name from a combination of June and nineteenth and is also known as Black Independence Day, Juneteenth Independence Day, and Emancipation Day.

Enjoy your long weekend, Atoms!
