"WHEREAS, through providing the possibility for an excellent education for all, especially children, we can create hope for a brighter, kinder, and more united and prosperous future in the lives of so many,” the Education and Sharing Day proclamation reads.
Some programs encouraged nationwide on Education and Sharing Day include time during day to reflect– when students are encouraged to think about what their parents and elders taught them, helping to focus them toward greater moral awareness – and the ARK (Acts of Random/Routine Kindness) initiative that encourages daily charitable giving and sharing.
Education and Sharing Day honors the contributions of the Rebbe – Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory – who emphasized the role of character building and ethical development in education, stressing the importance of personal responsibility and upstanding, principled behavior.
Since its establishment in 1978, Education and Sharing Day has been renewed annually by each president, as well as by cities, states and counties around the USA, which issue proclamations recognizing the need to teach moral and ethical values to our youth.
This is the third year that Shoreline has issued an Education and Sharing Day proclamation, and second year Lake Forest Park has done so as well, reinforcing the importance of ethical and moral development for the next generation.
