🇺🇸❤️ Today, we honor and remember the brave servicemen and women who gave their lives in defense of our country. Memorial Day is a time of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🕊️

The origins of Memorial Day trace back to the aftermath of the Civil War, when communities across the country began honoring fallen soldiers by decorating their graves with flowers. One of the earliest documented Memorial Day commemorations was organized by formerly enslaved Black Americans in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1865. After the war, Black residents helped properly bury Union soldiers who had died in a Confederate prison camp and later gathered to honor them with a parade, prayers, songs, and flowers a powerful act of remembrance, freedom, and gratitude. ❤️🖤💚

What began as “Decoration Day” eventually became Memorial Day, a national observance honoring all military personnel who lost their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. 🇺🇸

At the Christine W. Avery Learning Center, we remember the sacrifices of those who served and honor the legacy of courage, service, and freedom they left behind.

Wishing our CWA families and community a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

🏛️✨ Advocacy in action! ✨🏛️

This week, our Chief Executive Officer, Mrs. CiCi Weston, and Chief Operations Officer, Ms. Kyla Morton, traveled to the North Carolina State Capitol to advocate for Early Learning and the importance of raising subsidy floor rates for childcare providers across our state. 📚💛

Their advocacy represents the voices of children, families, educators, and communities who rely on access to high-quality early childhood education every day. Investing in Early Learning means investing in stronger futures, stronger families, and stronger communities. 🌟

At CWA, we remain committed to ensuring our children and families receive the support, resources, and opportunities they deserve, because the work we do matters “from the womb to the workforce.” ❤️💙💛

🥕🍎 Be sure to ask your young genius about CWA’s Farmers Market at our Gaston St. site every Wednesday! 🌽🍓

📚✨ Early literacy matters! ✨📚

Introduction to literacy in early learning programs helps build the foundation for language, communication, imagination, comprehension, and a lifelong love of learning. From listening to stories and recognizing letters to developing vocabulary and social-emotional connections, these early experiences help prepare our little learners for future academic success. 💛📖

Today, our students had a special visit from Books Alive with Ms. Ann, who came to read, engage, and bring stories to life for our geniuses! 🎉📚 Thank you, Ms. Ann, for pouring into our students and helping make literacy fun, interactive, and meaningful.

At CWA, we believe every story read is another step toward empowering the next generation of leaders. 🌟
