Do not come to school! I repeat, do not come to school! Why, you ask? Well, because it's a holiday! I hear clapping and cheering in my ears, but why are you cheering if you don't know what holiday it is? Well students, teachers, and parents, it is Statehood Day. Statehood Day commemorates Hawaii's permission as the 50th state of the United States. On August 21, 1959, President Eisenhower allowed statehood to Hawaii. So do not come to school on August 17th, but do take the time to remember and study the significance of this day.
Thanks Bryce! It's always good to remember WHY we celebrate our holidays. I'm looking forward to reading your piece on Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryce, for writing this article! I really liked how you explained why you always shouldn't be happy about missing school because it's a holiday, and why you should be worshiping our holidays instead of thinking of it as a day for you to play around with your friends! Statehood day commemorates Hawaii's permission as the 50th state of the United States, because President Eisenhower allowed it. I enjoyed reading this article on Statehood Day because, it was short and right to the point. A lot of people say, "The longer, the better." But as you can see, that's not true. Your article was short but reached the requirements of details. Once again, thank you so much for writing this article. I can't wait to read your new up coming articles, on any other topics you have in store!=)
