Announcements – Wednesday, November 5

Good afternoon, Blue Wave. Today is Wednesday, November 5, 2025  Holocaust Remembrance Week This week, our school is observing Holocaust Remembrance Week. Each day, we’ll share a short fact to honor the memory of those who suffered and to remind us of the importance of tolerance, empathy, and standing up against hate. Auschwitz-Birkenau, located in Nazi-occupied Poland, was the largest concentration and extermination camp. More than 1.1 million people were murdered there. Today, it stands as a memorial and museum, preserving the memory of those who suffered and died.
