The 2025-2026 Red, White & Blue Schools theme is For the Common Good<\/em>! <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, For the Common Good, honors the contributions that schools make to the shared welfare of their local communities. The theme pushes our collective responsibility into the foreground; it promotes collaborative civic engagement and acknowledges that the common good forms the foundation for our shared prosperity. As a pillar of America 250 Connecticut<\/a>, it is a nonpartisan call to shape our communities around our founding values and nurture the spaces and resources we share. Educators are encouraged to explore what shapes \u201cthe common good\u201d takes in their communities with students. The aim is to look at our communities, discuss how we determine \u201cthe common good\u201d and what that means in our own environment, and take initiative to bolster the common good wherever there is room to do so. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
