It is important for students to learn about dates/days that are important to America. This petition will be sent to the Henrico County Public Schools School Board along with a resolution that will have a list of holidays and observances that HCPS should recognize. If you would like to add a holiday/observance that HCPS should recognize, please comment.
The goal of this petition will be to make sure all HCPS schools hold some sort of recognition assembly, presentation, or performance on/around the dates of these important days.
We, the undersigned, call on the Henrico County Public Schools School Board to adopt and enforce the following:
Requires all Henrico County Public Schools to:
Host a recognition assembly, performance, speech, or performance to recognize the following:
- Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- President's Day
- Arbor Day/Earth Day
- Memorial Day
- Patriot Day
- Veterans Day
- Black History Month
- Constitution/Citizenship Day
- Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day,
Informs the parents, students, and staff of scheduled recognition events at least 30 days prior to the event,
Sends HCPS-TV staff, on each day of remembrance, to at least 1 Elementary, 1 Middle, and 1 High school to record the events for broadcasting.
