GROUNDHOG DAY

The month of February carries a important day: known as Ground-

hog Day. Groundhog day is celebrated February 2. It is broadcast-

ed in Pennsylvania. There will be a groundhog named Punxtawney

Phil, who will predict the upcoming weather based on whether or

not his shadow appears or not. He will be put in a burrow around

7:35 am. Then, the forecasters will look out for his shadow and

weather conditions. As Phil emerges from the burrow, if his shad-

ow is seen, the U.S will have 6 more weeks of winter. If his shadow

isn't seen, the U.S will be expecting

warmer temperatures and an early spring.

Mardi Gras

On February 28,2017 Mardi Gras, will be taking place again, as a traditional

event filled with fun events that have taken place for many years. Mardi Gras

always lands on the Tuesday that is 47 days before Easter. It is always the day

before Ash Wednesday, which is the start of Lent. Carnival season refers to the

weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, and officially begins on January 6 every year.

Although Carnival season lasts more than a month, the parties, parades and fun

kick into high gear on the Thursday before Mardi Gras.

Black History Month, or National African American History

Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Ameri-

cans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Ameri-

cans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History

Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and

other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. presi-

dent has officially designated the month of February as Black

History Month. Other countries around the world, including

Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to cele-

brating black history. It is a time of celebration for the African

American culture. Many historical African Americans that have

shaped modern society are the following: MLK, Rosa Parks,

W.E.B Du Bois, Malcom X, etc.

Valentine’s

Day In a world that can go crazy

Where values often go

astray

its easy to forget what counts

As we struggle each day

But sometimes on the road

of life

You get to meet someone

who cares

Who remembers what does

matter most

The love and laughter that

they share

They know nothings more

important

Then the love that’s left be-

hind

Making someone feel they’re

cherished

Building loving ties that

bind

All their special loved ones

Beside deep within their

heart

Yet they share the pieces

So everyone can have a part

You are that special some-

one who only comes once in

a while

I feel bless to know you be-

cause you make me smile
