Why did school start on a Wednesday?

Waking up on a Wednesday
By Viviana Topete

As all you Raiders know, this year school started on a Wednesday. Many students were annoyed at the fact that they would have to wake up early on such a random day, others were disappointed to find out they wouldn't be able to go to Comic Con because of school being on the same week. Although we all had our own mixed emotions about starting on a Wednesday, we were all curious... Why on a Wednesday?

Well, to answer that question, we asked Mr. Leaf, the AP English Literature and English 12 teacher. He had said that we started three days earlier so that we could have a whole week off for Thanksgiving break. That's a good thing, right?

So instead of being grumpy about starting earlier than usual, we should be very grateful that we are getting a whole week off in Thanksgiving, just three weeks before our winter break!
