Friday was an important day to remember, not just because it was 11/11/11, which many of you made such a big deal about. No it was Veterans day. While many of you spent the day on Facebook counting down the seconds until 11:11 AM and PM, others spent the day remembering those brave men and women that fought for our country. This is year is the first and only Veterans Day that will be 11/11/11/11. If you have Ms.Stretcher, then you know what I'm talking about as she would say, " The 11th hour, the 11th day, the 11th month, not its the 11th year." Originally called Armistice Day, it commemorated the fallen dead of the First World War. Now, Veterans Day is a very special day that pays tribute to all those that care so much about our country.
For Southwest Raiders, it was a day off. Many Raiders spent the day hanging out with friends and on Facebook . However, we still had Saturday school this weekend so their fun was cut short. Remember, if you are one of those Raiders who are failing a class and are forced to go to "Saturday Study Session" you should have taken the time off to do homework and catch up on missing work. We will have Saturday School this weekend, Raiders, so do your work, be productive and be ON TIME!
