Three towns in the U.S. take their name from the traditional Thanksgiving bird, including Turkey, Texas Turkey Creek, Louisiana and Turkey, North Carolina. 2. The famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade began in the 1920’s. 3. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October in Canada. 3 4. Abraham Lincoln issued a ‘​Thanksgiving Proclamation​’ on the third October of 1863 and officially set aside the last Thursday of November as the national day for Thanksgiving. Whereas earlier, the presidents used to make an annual proclamation to specify the day when Thanksgiving was to be held. 5. Californians are the largest consumers of turkey in the United States. 6. Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird. According to him, an eagle had "bad moral character." A turkey, on the other hand, was a "much more respectable bird." 7. The early settlers gave thanks by praying and fasting, which is what they planned on doing to celebrate their first harvest, that is, until the Wampanoag Indians joined them and (lucky for us!) turned their fast into a three-day feast. 4 Thanksgiving Jokes By: Rosamargot Chang Grade 6 1: What key can't open any doors? ~A turkey! 2: What do you say when it's raining turkeys? ~There's foul weather outside! 3: What happened to the poor turkey when he got in a fight? ~He got the stuffing knocked right out of him! 4: What side of a turkey has more feathers? ~The outside of course! 5: Why did the turkey cross the street? ~The chicken had the day off! 6: How did the scarecrow win his first Nobel Prize? ~He was out standing in his field! 5 FIVE FUN FACTS ABOUT WINTER by: Mackenzie Bruce FACT ONE Our Northern Hemisphere is the closest to the sun during this season.

So who's to say kids can't have a choice in it at all, well at least for fun, right? On Thursday, November 3rd, select sixth grade social studies classes got the honor of voting for their favorite presidential nominee! Including all four candidates, 2 U.S representatives, public questions one and two, AND the “write in section” the ballot looked almost identical to the real one. Students placed their “ballot” in a small box and all votes were kept confidential unless independently shared by choice. On Friday, November 4th, the results were revealed! Hillary Clinton WON, taking an astonishing 56 percent of all the votes! Donald Trump received second place with 29 percent of the votes, which is almost half as much as Hillary’s votes! Jill Stein was honored, coming in as a third place winner with six percent of the votes. Next, Gary Johnson had 3 percent of the votes. Last but never least, the “write in/no vote/other” section took 6 percent of the votes. With a total of 154 votes placed, the students really did have the opportunity to “vote” this year. Even though our votes won't go into the real election, at least the students’ opinions were expressed through the Mock Election! 8 * Thank you to Mr.Lucibello for for publishing all of the statistics in his classroom, this article couldn't have been done without him. 9 Election Survival Hacks: For the next crazy election! By: Vanja Zaninovic Though the election may be over, there will always be a next one! Take the next 4 to 8 years to prepare yourself! 1. Make sure to keep up with articles online. They ​ ​ can be key to knowing which direction the election is going. 2. Be clear about which candidate you are rooting ​ for. It is important that you know who you stand for, or else the election will definitely get confusing. 3. Do your research. Don’t make an uneducated decision about who you stand for. It is of ​ high importance that you know which platform would most benefit you and your family. 4. Stop the hate! Make sure you don’t pressure others to side with your favorite candidate. ​ Whatever you choose to represent is fine, but it’s not okay to try and change other people’s beliefs. Respect them and their decisions. 5. Watch and learn. Pay close attention to the candidates and their behaviors, as well as ​ the way they behave in public. Watching the debates is a big help and a big dealbreaker. Follow these lifehacks, and you are bound to come out of this election worry free! While we may not be able to vote, a student’s voice is as important as anyone's. Make sure you are making the right decisions and are both educated and happy while doing so. 10 5 iPhone Life Hacks By: Sinal Patel 1. If you're in a hurry and you need to charge your iPhone, don’t worry, plug in your iPhone to your charger and put your phone onto airplane mode. Your phone will charge twice as fast making it quicker for you to get out the door. It’s a real time saver! 2. It’s common for you to type in the wrong digit when you use the calculator on your iPhone. I have a tip for you that will help you delete the unwanted number. Simply swipe the number you put in on the calculator screen from left to right, and the unwanted number will be deleted. 3. When you’re taking a photo of someone or merely taking a selfie, sometimes it can be hard to click the button that takes the photo. Instead of clicking on the button, click on the volume button. It can be the any of the volume buttons and it will capture a clear photo. 11 4. With the new IOS 7 update, the multitask bar (double click the home button) can let you close up to three apps in one swipe. Just remember to use three fingers. 5. It gets tough to not use up all of your storage on your iPhone. So if you get the constant reminder that your storage is almost full, download Dropbox. It’s a free app that downloads all of your photos from your camera roll. Once all of your photos are downloaded, you can delete the crowded photos on your camera roll which will create more storage on your iPhone.

  • THE HISTORY of VETERANS DAY - Courtesy of US Department of Veterans’ Affairs
    NOVEMBER 2014 Published by Greene County Department of Human Services since 1976 THE HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY - Courtesy of US Department of Veterans’ Affairs World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.” Soldiers of the 353rd Infantry near a church at Stenay, Meuse in France, wait for the end of hostilities. This photo was taken at 10:58 a.m., on No- vember 11, 1918, two minutes before the armistice ending World War I went into effect In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and be- cause of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades, public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m.
