Today, Friday, June 19, E2CCB recognizes Juneteenth, a day honoring freedom, resilience and the continued pursuit of equality.
As a school community, we reflect on the importance of this day in American history and the responsibility we share to keep learning, listening and creating spaces where every person feels a true sense of belonging.
At E2CCB, one of our organizational habits is that Weβre Opportunity Makers. Where others may see limitations, we see potential β and we believe in doing amazing work that helps change lives.
Juneteenth is a meaningful reminder of the work still ahead and the importance of continuing to build opportunities, remove barriers and support a future where everyone can flourish.
