TECH 8th Graders Go To Federal Court
U.S. History students visited the U.S. District Courthouse on December 5th. Students were able to speak with District Judge A. Howard Matz, who was appointed to the Federal Bench by President Clinton in 1998, and confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 85-0. They also saw presentations by the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Federal Public Defender, Interpreter Services, Probation, and the U.S. Marshal's Service. The field trip connected what the students learned in history class to the actual work done by people working in the Federal Courts.

Proclamation of Thanksgiving
Click on the picture to see the text of the proclamation which set the precedent for America's national day of Thanksgiving. During his administration, President Lincoln issued many orders like this. For example, on November 28, 1861, he ordered government departments closed for a local day of thanksgiving.
Sarah Josepha Hale, a prominent magazine editor, wrote a letter to Lincoln on 28, 1863, urging him to have the "day of our annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival." She wrote, "You may have observed that, for some years past, there has been an increasing interest felt in our land to have the Thanksgiving held on the same day, in all the States; it now needs National recognition and authoritive fixation, only, to become permanently, an American custom and institution." The document below sets apart the last Thursday of November "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise."
