Proclamation 7997 of April 5, 2006
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2006
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
A quality education is the cornerstone of a hopeful tomorrow for all our
children. Education and Sharing Day highlights our strong support for
our young people as they pursue lives of learning, prepare to become
responsible leaders, and work to reach their full potential.
On Education and Sharing Day, we remember the efforts of Rabbi Menachem
Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who promoted the importance of
education and ethical teachings to every student's future. He sought to
improve lives and communities through a vast network of education and
outreach centers and social service programs around the world. We
continue to be inspired by the Rebbe's good works and all those who
dedicate their time, talents, and energy to helping our next generation
grow into caring, responsible adults. Through devotion to faith, family,
education, and community, we can continue building a better and more
compassionate society.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 9, 2006, as
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon government officials,
educators, volunteers, and all the people of the United States to reach
out to young people and work to create a better, brighter, and more
hopeful future for all.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of April,
in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
