Happy St. Patrick's Day! Do you know the history of this special day?
Saint Patrick's Day is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick, one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.
The day is the national holiday of Ireland. In the rest of Canada, the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.
It became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church in the early part of the 17th century. The date of the feast is occasionally moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week.
Permission slips for the Career Fair and Naper Settlement field trips are due by Thursday. Turn those into your Homebase teacher.
