~Today is Wednesday April 27, 2022
~Day 6
Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be commemorating today? Today is Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Many people in the United States observe Holocaust Remembrance Day. According to the U.S. Holocaust Museum, it is a day “to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.”
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the 6 million Jewish victims of the Nazis as well as the millions of other victims and we also remember that the choices people make matter in helping or hurting others.
The Video Announcement Club will not meet today.
Track practice is canceled for today.
Pod Casting Club… please check the google classroom during 7th period for an update on today’s meeting.
