Happy Victoria Day!

Happy Victoria Day to all!  Did you know that the purpose of this holiday was to honour a former Queen of England, Queen Victoria?    (don't forget that Canada used to be a British colony, so we will always have a special bond with Great Britain)  She was very popular, and since her birthday was May 24, it was decided that the third Monday in May each year would be a holiday.  That is where the term "the May 2-4 Weekend" comes from, even though May 24 doesn't always land on this weekend.  We are blessed with great weather this weekend, so get out and do the things you enjoy!  If you choose to use fireworks (one of two weekends this season that it is allowed), please make sure to observe all safety procedures and city by-laws!


Don't forget that we have a math test tomorrow on unit 9!
