Memorial Day 2020

May 24, 2020

Dear Families:

This Memorial Day is unlike any in recent times and yet it also seems more relatable in how we honor those who gave so much in service to others.  Although our traditions are not an option, there are still ways to celebrate.

• Carlisle is having a limited gathering that will be recorded and posted on the web and broadcast on cable.  Carlisle also posted a video of local memorial sites in town.  All of the information is posted here:  https://www.carlislema.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2482/MEMORIAL-DAY-2020-PRESS-RELEASE?bidId=
• Concord will host a moment of silence at noon.  It will be broadcast on Minuteman Media Network and TV channels 8, 9 or 99. https://twitter.com/TownofConcordMA/status/1264624795133579266
• Minute Man National Park offers a great deal of material for children about historic events in Concord that certainly relate to a Memorial Day discussion.  https://www.nps.gov/mima/learn/education/curriculummaterials.htm
• Enjoy this tribute from November recorded at CCHS.  It pertains as much this weekend. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y12oRiBPacx15C-jheYvE_ZXMURpsvXR/view?usp=sharing
