This week we want you to share with us how understanding why we celebrate Memorial Day makes you feel. Use the link below to answer Ms. Anastasia’s questions.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

May 27, 1937 

Golden Gate Bridge opens.  

On this day in 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge, connecting San Francisco with Marin County, California, officially opens amid citywide celebration. Named for the narrow strait that marks the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate Bridge was constructed from January 1933 to May 1937.   

IT'S A CELEBRATION:

May 27th National Grape Popsicle Day! 

Popsicles are one of summertime’s favorite treats for kids of all ages. National Grape Popsicle Day honors one of the most popular flavors! 

Make some homemade grape popsicles or pick up your favorite frozen grape treat. One way to enjoy your popsicle without the mess is by adding it to a clear soda. Pour the soda into a glass and then just add your popsicle to your soda. Not only does it keep your drink cool, but it also adds a bright color to your beverage. As the popsicle begins to melt, break it up like a slushy. What other ways do you enjoy your popsicles? Use #GrapePopsicleDay to post on social media.
