Today in history…Today, the Library of Congress celebrates its birthday. On April 24, 1800, President John Adams approved the appropriation of $5,000 for the purchase of “such books as may be necessary for the use of congress.” The books, the first purchased for the Library of Congress, were ordered from London and arrived in 1801. The collection of 740 volumes and three maps was stored in the U.S. Capitol, the Library’s first home. On January 26, 1802, President Thomas Jefferson approved the first legislation that defined the role and functions of the new institution on January 26, 1802.

Hunter Freeman is this week’s Student of the Week! Selected by Mrs. Carmona, Hunter is a hard-working and persistent student. Hunter's positivity inspires Mrs. Carmona every day. Keep on smiling!

This week’s Senior of the Week, nominated by Mrs. Farina, is Ian De Caro! As an AVID tutor he is selfless, kind, and a role model for our AVID juniors.
