The charity driven and education promoting organization, Free the Children, strives to empower youths to free the Earth’s population of the cycle of poverty. On April 22, the New Canaan High school Free the Children club held a Water Walk Fundraiser at Waveny Park.

When integrated Union armies of the Civil War laid flowers on the graves of their fellow soldiers in 1865, they didn’t know they were starting a holiday that would become iconic in American culture. This holiday, then called “Decoration Day,” became steeped in American tradition, eventually becoming “Memorial Day.” Today, we celebrate Memorial Day as a way to recognize the efforts and sacrifices of veterans, both living and deceased.
