Good Afternoon Students, this is Dr. Cooper. Today is a Friday and I greatly enjoy Fridays, so I will be sharing some interesting historical facts of no importance. Every day is full of historical events, including November 8th. Here are some things you might not know happened on November 8th...
November 8th Birthdays:
OK so maybe nothing extremely....cool happened on November 8th. But hey, I don't make the calender.
I am feverishly at work writing new, exciting, and informative articles for our school newspaper. Be sure to check them out when they arrive! Also, I have nine raffle tickets for an iPad Mini in case anyone wants to buy some. So please do your patriotic duty and purchase a raffle ticket for $5....Thank you.
Oh and by the way, come back next week to see my historical article about the 1970 Oregon Exploding Whale Incident...
