THE's 4TH ANNUAL END OF YEAR CAR PARADE

JUNETEENTH

The nineteenth day of June, recognized as Juneteenth, is a day of remembrance for the day enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom, more than two years after the emancipation proclamation was issued. Juneteenth has been designated as a federal holiday and in 2023 will become a Washington state holiday. This year, classrooms across the district will be recognizing Juneteenth on either Friday, June 17, or Monday, June 20. Here are some resources for families to learn more about Juneteenth.


  • Juneteenth: All About the Holidays is a short PBS video that offers an introduction to younger students

  • Juneteenth - A Celebration of Resilience is a website from the Smithsonian with a variety of resources

  • What is Juneteenth? This overview of the holiday from the History Channel offers facts and a short video with links to many other related topics

Yearbook Update: Unfortunately, our yearbook vendor had issues with their printer, so we're not able to distribute yearbooks (to those families who purchased them) before the last day of school, as we'd hoped. We'll keep you posted on distribution - hopefully next week. Questions? President@tehalehheightspta.org
