Re: Happy Brooklyn Queens Day.

I think we are off only because we didn't have a snow day this year. The kids are always off but the staff in my school seems to be off every other year or so. Sometimes they use it as an inservice day. I hate inservices.

I have heard of it but didnt know what it was about. I looked it up.

Brooklyn-Queens Day originated as a Protestant holiday celebrated in the City of Brooklyn in 1829. Back then it was known, and fondly remembered by some, as Anniversary Day. Anniversary Day is celebrated annually on the first Thursday in June, commemorating the founding of the First Sunday School on Long Island. The first parade was held in Brooklyn June 1829.

The New York State Legislature enacted, in 1959 at the request of the Queens Federation of Churches, the bill permitting the schools in both Kings and Queens Counties to be closed on this day. It was signed by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller.


Makes me wonder about Church and State. How does that work then?

I think our Prom was either ON brooklyn Queens day, or it was the day before, so we got the next day off. I think that was it.
