Shoreline and Lake Forest Park to mark Education and Sharing Day April 9, 2025
Shoreline and Lake Forest Park are set to observe "Education and Sharing Day" on April 9, 2025, as proclaimed by Mayors Chris Roberts and Tom French. This initiative responds to the growing mental health crisis among young people, focusing on the urgent need for moral and ethical education. Mayor French presented the proclamation during a city council meeting, highlighting the importance of education in fostering hope for a brighter future. The initiative encourages nationwide programs that allow students to reflect on their values and engage in acts of routine kindness, such as the ARK initiative. This day of recognition has been acknowledged by every U.
S. President since 1978, coinciding with the birthday of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who advocated for character development and ethical principles. The proclamation emphasizes the significance of teaching moral values to youth in building a just society. Local, state, and federal governments are joining in this effort to reaffirm the importance of education in shaping future generations. For more information on the Rebbe's teachings, visit TheRebbe.
