Calendar 6

Patrick was born in Great Britain to a

wealthy Alderman and Christian. At 16

Patrick was kidnapped by pirates and

sold into slavery in Ireland. During his

captivity as a shepherd, he dedicated

himself to his religion. He managed to

escape captivity six years, later.

Returning to England he believed it

was his responsibility to bring

Christianity to the Irish. Pope

Celestine later sent Patrick to

Ireland. He was an Apostle to

the Irish.

The shamrock explains

the concept of the holy

trinity to the Irish.

Showing them the

three leafed clover

he explained that

God the Father, the

Son and the Holy

Spirit were three

parts of the same

divinity.

It’s celebrated every March 17th

.

Saint Patrick

1.

A New York bus monitor who suffered relentless

bullying from four middle school students has

received more than $700,000 which was raised

by a Canadian man who was moved by her

story. Karen Klein of Greece, New York received

the money at a ceremony in Canada.

The 68-year-old was tormented with profanity,

insults and threats during a bus run. A 10-minute

cellphone video taken by another student took

on a life of its own on the internet and spawned

an outpouring of $703,833 in donations for Klein

from all over the world. The large novelty check

was handed to her by 25-year-old Max Sidorov,

a Toronto nutritionist with the help of the

fundraising site Indiegogo.

Sidorov said that he was also bullied as a

student and started the drive with the goal of

raising $5,000 to send Klein on vacation. But he

couldn't have expected the flood of financial

support that came in, enough to send Klein on

more than 140 vacations. An Indiegogo

spokeswoman said that more than 30,000

people from 84 countries contributed to the

fund.

We pop our popcorn in the microwave with a brown

paper lunch bag for 2 minutes. Then on the stovetop,

melt remaining ingredients together. Pour sauce over

popcorn. Top with extra almond Pieces. This sauce

never really set's up. It's kind of a gooey, messy thing

to eat, but still delicious!

Don't try to do all your studying the night before the

test. Instead space out your studying, review class

materials at least several times a week, focusing on one

topic at a time.

Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good

lighting and little distractions (try avoiding your own bed;

it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap).

Learn the general concepts first, don't worry about

learning the details until you have learned the main

ideas.

Take notes and write down a summary of

l the important ideas.

Take short breaks frequently.

Test yourself or have someone test you.

Listening to relaxing music.
