Follow in their Footsteps: Opportunities in Chapter Leadership Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the ratification of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is observed on September 17, the day the United States Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. CONSTITUTION DAY AND CITIZENSHIP DAY, CONSTITUTION WEEK, 2014 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Eleven years after a small band of patriots declared the independence of our new Nation, our Framers set out to refine the promise of liberty and codify the principles of our Republic. Though the topics were contentious and the debate fierce, the delegates' shared ideals and commitment to a more perfect Union yielded compromise. Signed on September 17, 1787, our Constitution enshrined -- in parchment and in the heart of our young country -- the foundation of justice, equality, dignity, and fairness, and became the cornerstone of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. For more than two centuries, our founding charter has guided our progress and defined us as a people.

This practice was for the most part discontinued by the House of Representatives in January 1995, although the Senate continues to issue sense of the Senate resolutions recommending the establishment of commemoratives. It has now become standard practice for special observances to be designated by a proclamation issued by the President. A recent noteworthy departure from current congressional policy is P.L. 107-89, which designates September 11 as Patriot Day and calls upon the President to issue an annual proclamation calling on the American people to commemorate Patriot Day.

Major Cultural and Religious Holidays 2019/20 School Year Recommended accommodation for observing students: please provide makeup days for tests, extra time to study and complete homework, and excuse students for missing practices and sports events. On fasting days, it would be ideal not to offer food in the classroom. Most families who observe these traditions prefer their children to miss as little school as possible. For this reason, children may come to school while observing these holy days, or miss only the first day of some of these religiously significant feasts.
