The Monday of our April Vacation is Patriots' Day.
Patriots' Day is a holiday celebrated on the third Monday in April, which commemorates the battles fought at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, which marked the start of the American Revolution. There are many groups that re-enact the famous battle which occoured about 12 miles away from downtown Boston.
Patriots' Day is also the day that The Boston Marathon is run. The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon as well as one of the most prestigious. We have at least 3 teachers in our school that have completed The Boston Marathon. See if you can guess who they are...
