Saints,
Hemos estado haciendo correr la voz como distrito escolar de que el 19 de junio ahora es dia feriado estatal. El Gobernador lo firmó bajo el mismo estatuto que el 4 de julio, el Día de Acción de Gracias, el dia Memorial, el dia Laboral y otros días festivos similares. Esto es diferente del Día de los Veteranos, el Día de MLK, el Día de los Pueblos Indígenas (antiguo Día de la Raza, que también se modificó) y otros días festivos similares.
Por lo tanto, al igual que los bancos, el condado y la ciudad, las Escuelas Públicas de St. James cerrarán todos los edificios y actividades durante el día. En el futuro, al igual que el 4 de julio, si el 19 de junio es sábado, se reconoce el viernes, o si es domingo, se reconoce el lunes.
Que tengas un maravilloso fin de semana festivo,
Escuelas públicas de St. James
Saints,
We’ve been getting the word out as a school district that June 19 is now a state holiday. The Governor signed it in under the same statue as July 4, Thanksgiving, Memorial, Labor, and other similar holidays. This is different from Veteran’s Day, MLK Day, Indigenous People Day (former Columbus Day - which was also changed), and other similar holidays.
Therefore, much like banks, county, and city, St. James Public Schools will close all buildings and activities for the day. In the future, much like July 4, if June 19 is on a Saturday, it is recognized on Friday, or if it is on a Sunday, it is recognized on Monday.
Have a wonderful Holiday weekend,
St. James Public Schools
