Today, we honor Juneteenth — a powerful reminder of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward equality. As we reflect on this important day, we celebrate the rich history and contributions of Black communities that continue to inspire and strengthen us all.

Please note that all CRCSD offices will be closed on Juneteenth to observe this significant holiday. We encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, and engage in meaningful conversations.

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day!

Today, we celebrate the adoption of the United States flag — a powerful symbol of our nation’s history, freedom, and unity. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of our flag, and since then, it has stood as a reminder of the values we share and the sacrifices made to protect them.

🎉 Fun Fact: Did you know the current 50-star flag was designed by a high school student in 1958 as part of a class project? His design was chosen out of more than 1,500 submissions — proving that big ideas can come from young minds!

From classrooms to communities, the flag continues to inspire civic pride and responsibility. Let’s take a moment to reflect on its meaning and celebrate the freedom it represents.
