I removed the line thar referred to Flag Day as a "major holiday" in Massachusetts and one that marks the end of the school year. I am a librarian in Massachusetts, and Flag Day is certainly not a major holiday here...indeed, I think relatively few people know it exists. It's not a state holiday, and although school usually does end in June, the date varies from community to community (and is often extended if there have been a lot of snow closings.) I've heard people express surprise when the beginning of the school year occurs before Labor Day, but I've never heard anyone make any remark about school extending beyond Flag Day.
[edit] SPLIT INFINITIVE!
C'mon people.... "to officially proclaim." What are we doing?!
[edit] Suggestion
