Event Details We will be celebrating the Juneteenth holiday on Friday, June 19, 2020 at 11 a.m., as a Facebook premiere video. We are looking for students to create videos in the categories of music (vocal or dance), art, or spoken word (speech, poetry) to submit for our annual Juneteenth celebration. We will use these videos during our online celebration event.Entries due Wednesday, June 17, 2020.Students can submit responses to Juneteenth and/or also to #WeAreDoneDying, an equal rights campaign promoted by the NAACP. Juneteenth is an American holiday that celebrates June 19, 1865 as freedom day, for it is on this day that many enslaved African Americans were informed of their freedom from slavery. This happened almost two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln s Emancipation Proclamation went into effect.Hosts:Cynthia RichardsonSalem-Keizer Public SchoolsWilma MarchbanksNAACPMarilyn WilliamsNAACP Event Details At this time, furlough days will occur primarily on Fridays; however, there will be no interruption to meal services.Grab-and-Go Meal LocationsThere will be no synchronous learning or scheduled meetings on Fridays.Furlough days are one cost-saving measure the district is taking to address significant projected revenue shortfalls in the 2020-21 school year and possibly the next biennium as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and reduced tax collections at the state level.
