Friday, July 11th from 9am -6pm (Opening Ceremony at 11am)

July 8th is Be a Kid Again Day. We are encouraged to stop what we are doing and immerse ourselves in childhood memories. This day is all about taking a break from being an adult and returning to the carefree kid we once were in years past.

The purpose of Be a Kid Again Day is to spend 24 hours living life to the fullest, without stressing about the future. It’s a day to let the joyful, curious sense of wonder we once possessed reemerge and to allow the child still inside each of us come out for a romp.

Lenox Public Schools wishes everyone a happy 249th Independence Day weekend. Also known as the Fourth of July, Independence Day commemorates the birth of the United States of America; it marks the day, two hundred and forty nine years ago, in 1776 when the original 13 American colonies declared their independence from Great Britain resulting in the American Revolutionary War. Following eight years of war, Britain recognized America's independence two years later with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Calvin Coolidge is the only U.S. president born on July 4th.

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will be at War Memorial Baseball Field (65 High Street, Lenox) on July 10th , 11th , 12th, & 13th from 9AM to 6PM.

Earlier this month, Brooke Kamienski, Honors Dual Enrollment Intro to the Human Body, Environmental Science & AP Environmental Science Teacher at Lenox Memorial Middle & High School, hosted a Healthcare Hop for 55 students. Students had an opportunity to “hop” from table to table to learn about various health care related fields and engage in small group conversations with a pharmacist, nurse, dentist, physical therapist, psychologist, and other healthcare providers. "Over the year, the students have expressed how much they value learning about careers related to the content we learn." - Ms. Kamienski
