Did you know that in the USA there are more
Chinese restaurants than McDonald’s, Wendy’s, KFC’s and Burger Kings combined? That’s over 31,000
restaurants. There are only five and a half thousand hospitals in the US. America is a wild country.

Every year, the United States celebrates President’s Day on the third Monday in the month of February. It is a day where almost everyone gets to stay home, including the federal government. It is also the time where every store is having a sale. So, what do the people who don’t have work or school do? They go shopping! It makes sense, getting what you need or want at decent prices. However, that is not the main reason for President’s Day. Many people seem to have forgotten the true purpose: celebrating George Washington’s birthday and remembering those who lead our country into greatness. President’s Day is a time to celebrate not only our presidents but also those who have served our country through the armed forces, under our leaders, and were wounded or killed. While there is nothing wrong with shopping or relaxing on this day, just be sure to remember those who sacrificed a great deal for our country. By Priya Bhatt

I'm Avi Sura, and I'm Poseidon, god of the sea. Like Poseidon, I
always find myself swimming through the problems I face and keeping that growth
mindset. Some fun facts about me that I love dancing and traveling
around the world.
I'm Sebastian Recto, and I'm the god of love: Eros. To be as godly as Eros, I am often seen getting
along with my peers and the JPS community. My hobbies include singing
with the choir and working out at the gym. A fun fact about me is that I
like playing daily crossword puzzles.
This week we introduce Mr. January, Avi Sura, and Mr. February, Sebastian Recto.

smell the roses”. With school work calming down a bit, be sure to
