Good morning!

Today we will finish up the first 3 presidents and begin to look at the causes of the War of 1812.

Period 1 - We will be attending a Veterans Day ceremony in the main lobby. Veterans Day is officially tomorrow. It came about as it is the anniversary of the end of World War I. It famously ended on the "11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour" and is a day to remember ALL - living and dead - who served in the armed forces.
