On Valentine’s day this year an event was held called Smooch-A-Pooch, The dogs that were there: Addie; Mr. Chioffi’s dog, Red; Mr. Follansbee, Frankie; Mr. Miller’s dog, and Mollie; Mrs. Rones’ dog. The middle school met in the auditorium and people bought tickets for a dollar and a candy bag for three dollars. People put masks on and smooched some pooches, took some selfies, and had a great time! It happened in the auditorium on the bottom floor of the middle school. It happened to raise money for Senior Paws. It happened on Wednesday, February 14, 2024. 

This year (2024), we have a leap year, so let's dive into some of its history. In the year 45 BCE, Julius Caesar declared that the year 46 BCE would consist of 445 days compared to 365 in order to correct the Roman calendar. This change resulted in the Year of Confusion. So then he created a year with 365.25 days, which was slightly longer than the solar year with 365.2422 days. which resulted in the addition of a leap day every fourth year. Even after hundreds of years we still use this system today. The leap year adds a day this year, so what will you do with your extra day?
