Constitution Tip of the Day
For those of you lucky enough to avoid working in an "educational institution" you may not know that September 17th is Constitution Day! On this day back in 1787 our Constitution was signed. You may also not know that last year our federal government instituted a law about Constitution Day:
Section 111(b) states ``[e]ach educational institution that receives Federal funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution.''
So, if you are in any way affiliated with an educational institution you should be celebrating this Friday, September 16th, something to do with the Constitution. Perhaps you want to visit the site of the National Constitution Center or join the country in a recitation of the Preamble to the Constitution at 2 pm eastern time.
However you choose to celebrate, remember, you have to! It's a federal law--and we don't want anyone getting in trouble!
Editor's Question: How will you choose to celebrate Constitution day?

Sorry, we had open house last night, I'm a little tired. Missed you guys at space!
But I think you're overlooking the much more exciting holiday coming up on Monday:
INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!
No additional reasons ever needed to watch a Johnny Depp movie. "Because I got up today," will be reason enough.
(Although, it truly be "the sweet trade.")
Yarrrrr.
I wonder if Matt will dress up as Johnny again on Monday. He never looked better than that! :)
Just so everyone knows we had a wonderful celebration for Constitution Day at Jessie Clark Middle School today. You can read about it tomorrow's Herald Leader, where none other than your own, rnutt, should be featured. Yes, it is true. If they don't mention my name, the group that did an activity simulating what it must have felt like to be a framer of the Constitution. Yea that's me.

No, it's because he was a foul-mouthed sharp-witted sarcastic scurvy sea rogue!
Sincerely,
Um, I mean, Arrrr!
