History of Groundhog Day
Last Tuesday, February 2nd, was Candlemas day, the day on which, according to the Germans, the Groundhog peeps out of his winter quarters, and if he sees his shadow, he pops back for another six weeks nap. This year, the groundhog didn't see his shadow, so spring should be just around the corner!

Valentine's Day
Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine.
In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th century, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings.
Here at San Antonio High School, students will be able to mark the day by sending each other candy-grams. We hope you all have a fabulous Valentine's Day!
