Education and Sharing Day 2025

Published on April 02, 2025

WHEREAS, the basis for the continuity of any society is education; and in the Town of Oro Valley, the education of our youth is a priority; and

WHEREAS, to achieve its highest goals, education must not only impart knowledge but also teach the students how to live, forming and strengthening their moral character to make a better life for themselves as individuals and for society as a whole; and

WHEREAS, a global spiritual leader, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, stressed that a moral and ethical education empowers every individual to develop their full potential in making the world a better place; and

WHEREAS, such an education can nurture the unity of diverse peoples through encouraging increased acts of kindness, imbued with the awareness that even a single positive act can change the world and usher in an era of global peace; and

WHEREAS, "Education & Sharing Day" is observed each year on the Rebbe's birthday in recognition of his outstanding and lasting contributions toward the improvement of education, morality, and acts of charity around the world; a day to pause and reflect on our responsibility to ensure our youth have the foundation necessary to lead lives rich in purpose and fulfillment through service and good works.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Joe Winfield, Mayor of Oro Valley, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, April 9, 2025, to be

EDUCATION AND SHARING DAY

in the Town of Oro Valley and call upon everyone to work together to create a better, brighter, and more promising future for all.
