The answer to last week’s question was: CESAR CHAVEZ. This historically famous Mexican American labor leader and civil rights activist fought peacefully for the rights of workers in the U.S. His public relations approach to unionism and aggressive but nonviolent tactics made the farm worker’s struggle a moral cause with nationwide support.

 After his death he became a major icon for the Latino community and for organized labor symbolizing grassroots support for these causes. His slogan “SI SE PUEDE” was later adopted by the Obama campaign as “YES WE CAN” Many schools and public building are named after him. His birthday has become CESAR CHAVEZ DAY, a state holiday in California, Colorado, Arizona and Texas.

Important information about the PSATs:

Linganore would like to give some reminders to any student taking the PSATs. All sophomores are scheduled to take the PSAT. Testing locations are posted in the cafeteria, upstairs on the C side of the media center, and two places on Main Street. There are also lists for students that will be displaced if their teacher is proctoring the exam. Testing will take place Wednesday, October 16th during periods 1 and 2. Period 2 will end at 11:00 am. All students will report to their regular first period for attendance before being directed by an announcement to move to their testing locations. Students should bring #2 pencils and a calculator to testing. The PSAT is designed such that calculators are not required but they are permitted. Students may not use their cell phones as a calculator. No calculators will be provided.
