Civics Alliance, Website, Our Work, Model Civics Code, 5 Special THE CIVICS ALLIANCE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOLARS MODEL CIVICS LEGISLATION SPECIAL OBSERVANCES ACT Introduction Many states make provision for programs of civic instruction keyed to one or more federal holidays, or to other specified days, weeks, or months. We have incorporated elements of all categories of state statute pertaining to Special Observances into our model Special Observances legislation. Many states make provision for Special Observances unique to their state. Arizona commemorates Sandra Day O’Connor, Illinois commemorates Leif Erickson, New Jersey commemorates Commodore John Barry. We encourage states to add unique civic observances to the list we provide. We restrict our list to observances linked to federal holidays, or to other aspects of national commemoration. Model Legislative Text SECTION A: The governing body of any school district or public charter school shall conduct appropriate patriotic exercises, and prepare programs of relevant civic and historical instruction that convey the meaning and significance of the day, on the day or week preceding or following these holidays: (1) Constitution Day; (2) Columbus Day; (3) Veterans Day; (4) Thanksgiving Day; (5) Bill of Rights Day; (6) Martin Luther King Day; (7) George Washington’s birthday; (8) Abraham Lincoln’s birthday; (9) Armed Forces Day; and (10) Memorial Day. SECTION B: If any provision of this chapter, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this chapter and the application of its provisions to any other person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.

  • MHC Memory Support August 2020 Happy Birthday, Hawaii! Hawaii Celebrates Statehood Day on August 21St
    MHC Memory Support August 2020 Happy Birthday, Hawaii! Hawaii Celebrates Statehood Day on August 21st Statehood Day or Admission Day is a legal holiday in the state of Hawaii in the United States. It is celebrated annually on the third Friday in August to commemorate the anniversary of the state's 1959 admission to the Union. It was first celebrated in 1969. Statehood bills for Hawaii were introduced into the U.S. Congress as early as 1919 by Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, the non-voting delegate sent by the Territory of Hawaii to the U.S. Congress. Additional bills were introduced in 1935, 1947 and 1950. In 1959, the U.S. Congress approved the statehood bill, the Hawaii Admission Act. This was followed by a referendum in which Hawaiian residents voted 94% in support of statehood (the ballot question was: "Shall Hawaii immediately be admitted into the Union as a state?"), and on August 21, 1959 (the third Friday in August), President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation making Hawaii the 50th state. Did you know? Outside of Hawaii, the third Friday of August is celebrated as "Hawaiian Shirt Day", when people are encouraged to wear a Hawaiian shirt as a way of celebrating this event.
