On social media, we often choose our "best" images to display. The highlight reel. The most attractive or adventurous parts of our days and lives. We do the same - but sometimes by displaying the highlights (of which there are many, don't get us wrong!) means we miss these little in-between moments. 👉 The moments that truly change us - these little moments that may not be "picture perfect," but demonstrate real connection, overcoming challenges, a mundane part of our daily lives, or simply the time we took to dance. 🎉 So, here's to embracing those little moments this year - cherishing every smile, new friendship, and opportunity to live a little! 🕺🏽 #globalroutes #studenttravel #travel #summer2024 #summerabroad #studentleadership #highschoolexchange #travelwithmeaning #volunteering #techfree #teenprograms

Happy Juneteenth from The Wakaboomee Program! Today, we celebrate and honor the profound significance of Juneteenth, reflecting on the AMAZING time we shared at the Town of Morrisville’s early Juneteenth celebration on June 8th. Embracing and acknowledging all cultures isn't just important - it's essential to the sustainability of our communities. Here’s why: - Celebrating diverse cultures brings unity, fostering deeper understanding and connection among community members. - Recognizing ALL cultures enhances appreciation and respect, breaking down stereotypes and prejudices, and building bridges of empathy. - Research shows that communities that support and recognize all cultures are more sustainable, resilient, and thrive both economically and socially. The vibrant smiles and joyful faces at The Town of Morrisville ‘s Juneteenth Celebration was breathtaking. Wakaboomee walked around & met all of the incredible vendors - learning about who they are and how they contribute to the sustainability of our town. Community Leaders like Anne Robotti & Steve Rao were onsite for the celebration with big smiles & kind hearts - even Mayor TJ Cawley showed up and got his face painted! Our friends from Bull City Woodshop supported our town’s celebration with a wood-working project that the kids LOVED! What an AMAZING day for all of us to join together in celebration of Juneteenth! What is Juneteenth? Juneteenth, officially “Juneteenth National Independence Day”, is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated annually on June 19. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The History of the Town of Morrisville ———————————— The Town of Morrisville has a rich history deeply intertwined with the contributions of freed slaves who worked the land and built the foundations of the community we know today. After the Civil War, freed African Americans played a crucial role in developing the area, working on farms, and contributing to local industries. Their resilience and hard work laid the groundwork for the thriving town Morrisville has become. These pioneers faced tremendous challenges but remained steadfast in their determination to build a better future for themselves and their descendants. May we never forsake observing the day that marks freedom and the relentless pursuit of justice and equality. BIG THANK YOU to the Town of Morrisville for recognizing this monumental day in history with a wonderful celebration! Wakaboomee had a blast and made so many new friends! #Juneteenth #CulturalAppreciation #CommunitySustainability #Morrisville #wakaboomee
