Freedom declared. Freedom delayed. Freedom finally realized.

In this month's C.O.O.L.™ Time Capsule, we explore the story behind Juneteenth—the day news of emancipation finally reached thousands of enslaved African Americans in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Discover how a delayed message became a lasting symbol of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

The first week of summer camp is officially complete!

What an incredible start to SR1's 14th Annual Summer Camp. Our scholars spent the week exploring that health and brain power go hand in hand. They built confidence, made new friends, explored healthy habits, and learned that taking care of their minds and bodies helps them thrive.

And we're just getting started!

✨ Four more exciting weeks to go:
• College Prep
• Cultural Arts & Literacy
• Computer Science
• STEM Capstone Showcase

The energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm our students bring each day remind us why this work matters. We can't wait to see what they'll accomplish next.

A legal fiction. A determined advocate. A nation-changing decision.

In this month’s C.O.O.L. Time Capsule, we travel back to June 1992 to explore the landmark Mabo Decision—a court case that challenged the idea of terra nullius and transformed Australia's understanding of its history.
