Sign up will be posted on the Learning Commons Website which can be found on the MSHS website under the Parents & Students menu tab. Students should only sign up for 1 PB a week so more students are able to use the space.

\r\nBirthdays:
\r\nVeterans Day
\r\nVeterans Day is a Time when all Americans pay their respect and turn their thoughts to our nations’ servicemen and women, past and present who have dedicated their lives to the defense of our nations’ values and principles. It is a moment when we need to remember that we are currently at war and that our service people are in harm's way while fulfilling their duties honorably so that we can be safe at home.
\r\nVeterans Day observed on November 11 is an official United States holiday honoring armed service veterans. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.
\r\nVeterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.
\r\nSo keep in your hearts and thoughts our veterans past and present, and remember to thank our proud vets!
