❤️🤍💙 Juneteenth Facts ❤️🤍💙

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached many enslaved people in Texas.

The first Juneteenth celebrations began as early as 1866.

Red foods and drinks are a Juneteenth tradition, symbolizing resilience, sacrifice, and cultural heritage.

Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021.

Understanding our shared past helps us better understand our present, and shape our future!

Black history is American history.

And just like that, Kinfolk's first school year has come to an end!

This year was filled with learning, laughter, friendships, field trips, challenges, growth, and so many unforgettable memories.

Thank you to every family, volunteer, teacher, supporter, and friend who helped make this year possible. Kinfolk would not exist without the people who continue to believe in what we're building together.

Did you know that the first Memorial Day observance was organized by formerly enslaved Black Americans and Black Union soldiers in Charleston, South Carolina on May 1, 1865?

After the Civil War, they exhumed Union prisoners of war from a mass grave and gave them proper individual burials before holding a massive procession where thousands gathered to sing, march, and decorate the graves with flowers.

This event is widely recognized by historians as the first Memorial Day commemoration in American history.

Black history is American history.

Our last field trip of the year was a chilly morning spent at the Harford Waste Disposal Center ♻️

We learned about landfills, the recycling process, what can and cannot be recycled, and so much more. It was a great reminder that even small choices can make a big difference for our planet 🌎

Reduce, reuse, recycle... And have a great week ☺️

This week, our co-op spent a beautiful Monday at Holt Park & Center for the Arts 🌳

We met some amazing animal friends, including a corn snake, a gecko, and a box turtle, went on a nature hike to explore local flora and fauna, and enjoyed songs and games together in the sunshine.

Huge thank you to the rangers at Holt for such a fun and engaging experience. We had a great time!
