Another March holiday!! :)

Today is National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day. This day is celebrated to enjoy the delicious combination of chocolate and fruit. Apparently chocolate lovers who like raisins find this delicious snack irresistable!! Kids have been known to drive their parents absolutley insane just to get these! Chocolate is made from cocoa beans (which people consider a vegetable) and raisins are just dried fruit and we all know that vegetables and fruits are good for you....Therefore, this is a healthy snack, isn't it?? :)

why is March called March?

The names of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Marius after Mas, the Roman god of war. In Rome, where the climate is Mediterranean, March is the first month of speing, a logical point for the beginning of the year as well as the start of the military campaign season. January became the first month of the calendar year either under King Numa Pompilius or under the Decemvirs about 450 BCE (Roman writers differ). The numbered year began on March 1 in Russia untill the end of the fifteenth century. Great Britain and her colonies contiued to use March 25 untill 1752, which was when they ultimately adopted the Gregorian calendar. Many other cultured and religions still celebrate the beginning of the New Year in March.

Why is March called March??

St. Patrick history

A lot of people think that St. Patricks Day is all about Leprachauns, Green, and 4-leaf clovers. How did that all start? St. Patrick was a patron of Ireland (which means he was the one who supported Ireland during his life and poeple looked up to him.) He was commonly known to many Christians. We celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17. That was his feast day and his death. This holiday has been celebrated for thousands of years. In Ireland usually Catholic families traditionally would attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. People usually would dance, drink and feast on the traditional Irish bacon and cabbage. They added the four-leaf clovers because it symbolizes good luck by the Irish and they wear them on St. Patrick's Day.

Why did the Irish believe in leprechauns?

The myth probably goes back to the story of where there is a pot of gold under the rainbow, and that would be where you'd see a leprechaun. And it might symbolize inherent positivity, despite the natural shortness of some humans' body's and red hair; and and those of us who are from that country that has a fiddle-dee-dee accent, whereas the majority of Dubliners have a Colin Farrellesque accent.

Whats happens in March?

On this day in 1933, eight days after his inaugurations, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gives his frist national radio address or "fireside chat," broadcast directly form the White House. Roosevelt began that first address simply: "i want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the nited States about banking." He went on to explain his recent decision to close the nation's banks in order to stop a surge in mass withdrawls by panicked investors worried about possible bank failures. The bank would be reopening the next day, Roosevelt said, and he thanked the public for their "fortitude and good temper" during the "banking holiday."

CHILE EARTHQUAKE

EVA VERGARA
Associated Press Writer


SANTIAGO, Chile — A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Chile early Saturday, collapsing buildings, killing at least 16 people and downing phone lines. President Michele Bachelet declared a "state of catastrophe" in central Chile and said the death toll was rising.

Tsunami warnings were issued over a wide area, including South America, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands.

"We have had a huge earthquake, with some aftershocks," Bachelet said, appealing from an emergency response center for Chileans to remain calm. "Despite this, the system is functioning. People should remain calm. We're doing everything we can with all the forces we have. Any information we will share immediately."

Bachelet said early reports were that 16 people had been killed, and "without a doubt, with an earthquake of this magnitude, there will be more deaths."

In the 2 1/2 hours following the 90-second quake, the U.S. Geological Survey reported 11 aftershocks, of which five measured 6.0 or above.

She urged people to avoid traveling in the dark, since traffic lights are down, to avoid causing more fatalities.

The quake hit 200 miles (325 kilometers) southwest of the capital, Santiago, at a depth of 22 miles (35 kilometers) at 3:34 a.m. (0634 GMT; 1:34 a.m. EST), the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The epicenter was just 70 miles (115 kilometers) from Concepcion, Chile's second-largest city, where more than 200,000 people live along the Bio Bio river, and 60 miles from the ski town of Chillan, a gateway to Andean ski resorts that was destroyed in a 1939 earthquake.

High School Cheer Competition

On Saturday Febuary 27th The high school cheerleaders went to Reno for State and for cheer competition. The cheerleaders had to compete against 3A cheerleaders, instead of 2A cheerleaders like they usually do. Their performance was great:]Their cheer coach said that she could not pick out one single thing that they did wrong. They were proud of how they did. They have such great talent.Their stunts are amazing, also very dangerous. Sadly, they did not place. These girls have very amazing talent. They would have placed if they didn't have to compete against 3A. They worked so hard this year. Their original cheer coach Heidi moved to vegas. So now their cheer coach is Gretchen. The girls were so happy because Heidi came to their cheer competition. They worked hard and did a great job:] Next year will be better:]
