Please take a moment to read this very important message from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia T. Abbato concerning Independence Day. Thank you for taking the time to review.
On June 19th, we celebrate the 160th Anniversary of the end of slavery in 1865 in the United States, which is known today as Juneteenth. It is a combination of the month of 'June' and the 'nineteenth' day that commemorates the happy news of newly-freed slaves in Texas at the end of the Civil War.
On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, changing the course of history. Their courage serves as a reminder of the price of freedom. Let us never forget their heroism and sacrifice.
Here is a special announcement from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia Abbato as we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend. Cheers to all the Moms in our district.
