Today, we recognize Juneteenth — a day of reflection, education, and celebration. On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned they were free. This moment marked a decisive step forward in the long journey toward justice and equality. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. As we observe this day, we are reminded of the importance of learning from our past, listening to one another, and continuing to build a future rooted in dignity and unity for all.

Today, fourth-grade summer school students visited the Long House! The Long House is a historical home located here in Farmington.

Washington-Franklin is keeping up the learning this summer!

Honoring the Stars and Stripes On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of our national flag, marking the birth of a powerful symbol of freedom, unity, and resilience. While many communities had already been observing Flag Day, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation in 1916 establishing Flag Day as a national holiday. Then, in 1949, President Harry Truman signed it into law, calling for an annual presidential proclamation and nationwide observance. Today, we continue the tradition by proudly displaying the flag and reflecting on all it represents. Happy Flag Day!
