Today is...NATIONAL ZIPPER DAY
National Zipper Day commemorates April 29, 1913, when the patent for the modern zipper was issued. The day celebrates something we often do not think about and may automatically take for granted.#NationalZipperDay
The first attempt at creating the zipper came from the inventor of the sewing machine. In 1851, Elias Howe received a patent for the “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure.” However, Howe never marketed his invention and missed the recognition he may have received.
Welcoming Ritual: What would be an amazing new flavor of ice cream?
Just a reminder—if you are absent, you are still responsible for completing your school work. Be sure to check Canvas for any assignments you missed and talk to your teachers when you return to school. You have the same number of days you were absent to turn in your work.
Once you’ve completed your assignments, don’t forget to email your teachers to let them know. Stay on top of your work and keep up the great effort!
