Mary Snow School -

Good morning! Here is the Mary Snow Newsletter: https://secure.smore.com/n/3qmvx We only have 5 days of school before students go on vacation and we have parent/teacher conferences.

All Bangor Schools are closed November 11, 2024, in observation of Veterans Day. Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
