Every year, the Tuxedo chapters of the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the sale of $1 “Blood Drops.” This fundraiser connects schools with local blood cancer patients, provides tangible life skills to participants, and allows students to see the impact they’re making in the lives of others. Although the donation process looked a little different this year with online donation, the NHS and NJHS raised over $400 which will go toward the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's goals to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Thank you to all who participated!
Thursday, May 28th Budget Hearing and Special Meeting Notice. https://5il.co/gq4s
This weekend is a time to honor the men and women who died serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day and originated in the years following the Civil War. In 1868, General John A. Logan declared May 30th to recognize Decoration Day as that date was not an anniversary of any particular battle.
In addition to honoring our Veterans, Memorial Day also serves as the unofficial beginning of the summer season. Please have a safe, healthy, and enjoyable holiday weekend.
