Earth Savers Club to recycle an impressive
6,500 pounds of garbage! Already reaching
over 6,000 young people since 2008 with

Día de veteranos
EL LUNES EL 11 DE NOVIEMBRE NO HABRÁ CLASES
Originalmente llamaba Día del Armisticio, este día se
estableció en honor de los estadounidenses que prestaron
sus servicios durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Se
celebra el 11 de noviembre, día en que dicha guerra
terminó en 1918, pero ahora honra a los veteranos de
todas las guerras en las que los Estados Unidos ha peleado.
Las organizaciones de los veteranos realizan desfiles y
como de costumbre el presidente coloca una corona en la
Tumba de los Desconocidos en el Arlington National Cemetery
en Washington, DC.
Veterans Day
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH
No Classes
On November 11th 1918, an armistice, or temporary
cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied
nations and Germany in the First World War, then known
as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day
beginning in 1919, November 11th became a legal federal
holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of
World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became
Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of
all wars.
