The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks from today

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks from today to the 13th!
Every summer, the Earth passes through the tail of the Swift-Tuttle comet. Debris from this comet burn up in our atmosphere and cause bright shooting stars that can be seen at night. It is called the Perseid meteor shower because the meteors look to be coming from the Perseus constellation and according to Greek mythology, the Perseids were Perseus’ descendants.

Today is the International Day of Friendship!!

•The United Nations, the official sponsor of this special day, has deemed the International Day of Friendship as a day to promote friendship among peoples, cultures and countries. It is a great day to celebrate diversity, promote peace and build bridges among nations. On a personal level, we can all work toward better understanding people who are different from ourselves. We can also reach out to friends and family and let them know you are thinking about them and care about them. Some other ideas:
 Make a card for a special person who serves you in your life: a family member, staff person, doctor, mail carrier, helper.
 Send an email or call someone who means a lot to you and tell them you care about them.
 Learn about a culture that is different from your own (use the internet, watch a television program, take a book out of the
library).
 Try one of these fun crafts to make a give to a friend:
