Mothers Day

Mother’s day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May. Oliver Wendell Holmes says “The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms”. The day was set as an official holiday in 1914 after more than a century of women meeting locally to promote the idea. Our mothers do s0 many things for us. According to some unknown sources mother is the one who understands what his child does not say. There is a Jewish proverb stating “God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers”.

5 de mayo

5 de mayo is a day that the Mexican people celebrate because it’s part of the Mexican history. It is when a group of Mexicans from the state of Puebla defeated the French. 5 de mayo has been around for hundreds of years.

Tournament for Breast Cancer

The tournament we are playing about this weekend is because we are supporting anybody who has breast cancer and I think that this is a good thing because we are helping people who have cancer. And all the people who go to watch the tournament have to pay $5 dollars to get in and I hope you can comment on this blog.
