Summary

Miles, the little kid, found 20$, but instead of keeping them he gave them to a solider he saw because when he was only 5 weeks old his dad died being a soldier. I think Miles did a good thing, because not anybody would give back the money, or give it away, and for a little kid to do that, that was very nice of him.

Student Success Statement 

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company."

President’s day

Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present. The purpose is to celebrate the American presidency and remember all those who served as President of the United States.
