Norfolk County proclaims April 9, 2025, Education and Sharing Day

The Norfolk County Commission on April 9 adopted a resolution proclaiming April 9, 2025, as Education and Sharing Day in Norfolk County to honor the educational and moral teachings associated with the Rebbe and the Chabad Lubavitch movement.

A commissioner moved the resolution, and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The resolution praises education’s role in strengthening moral character and calls on government officials, educators, volunteers and citizens to work together to create better opportunities for youth.

The resolution urges local officials and residents to observe the day through acts that promote education, morality and charity. The public transcript records the reading of the resolution and the subsequent unanimous voice vote approving it; no further implementation steps or county-funded programs were specified.
