🔔 Reminder: In honor of the Juneteenth holiday, all district offices will be closed, and summer school will not be in session. Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day—June 19, 1865—when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. #WaterfordCares #WUSD
