The History and Origin of Veterans' Day
The History and Origin of Veterans' Day
Please take the time to remember the history and significance of Veterans’ Day as you prepare to join the nation in a day of reflection and remembrance tomorrow, Friday, November 11th—Veterans’ Day 2016.
In 1918, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the world rejoiced and celebrated. After four years of bitter war, an armistice was signed. The "war to end all wars" was over. November 11, 1919 was set aside as Armistice Day in the United States, to remember the sacrifices that men and women made during World War I in order to ensure a lasting peace. On Armistice Day, soldiers who survived the war marched in a parade through their home towns. Politicians and veteran officers gave speeches and held ceremonies of thanks for the peace they had won.
Congress voted Armistice Day a federal holiday in 1938, 20 years after the war ended. But Americans realized that the previous war would not be the last one. World War II began the following year and nations great and small again participated in a bloody struggle. After the Second World War, Armistice Day continued to be observed on November 11. In 1953 townspeople in Emporia, Kansas called the holiday Veterans' Day in gratitude to the veterans in their town. Soon after, Congress passed a bill introduced by a Kansas congressman renaming the federal holiday to Veterans' Day. In 1971 President Nixon declared it a federal holiday on the second Monday in November.
Americans still give thanks for peace on Veterans' Day. There are ceremonies and speeches and at 11:00 in the morning, most Americans observe a moment of silence, remembering those who fought for peace. Veterans gather at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. to place gifts and stand quiet vigil at the names of their friends and relatives who fell in the Vietnam War.
The City of Charleston will hold their 75th Annual Veteran’s Day Parade beginning at 10:00AM tomorrow, Sat., Nov 11th 2016. Nitro High School participants will include our own AFJROTC Honor Guard and Marching Band. Please come out and pay tribute to our Veterans.

The parade will begin at 5:30 pm. We will pull out onto Main Ave. heading towards the school. We will turn onto Lock St. and then turn onto Broadway Avenue.

Road Closure Information
On Monday May 9th Park Avenue will be closed for sewer repairs. The street will remain closed for a week. The street will be closed at the entrance to Village on Park and the Nitro High School Football field. In an effort to keep traffic flowing in the morning, all traffic will be routed onto the parking lot entrance close to the school and exit on the far end near the football field. In the afternoon, Park Avenue will be closed at West 11th Street at approximately 2:40pm or when the first bus arrives. The buses will turn around and pick up students in the normal area. Parents picking up their children are urged to use the parking lot at the Baker building. Once school lets out and buses have been loaded then Park Ave. will re-open. Police will be directing traffic onto WV Rt. 25 and at West 11th Street.
Prom Info
If you ordered a Prom Tshirt, they are in Mrs. Kerber's room (room 215). Make sure to pick them up. Also, if you are wanting a Prom Tshirt, and forgot to order one, she still has some available...but act fast because there aren't many left. They are $15--makes for an awesome keepsake.

Press Release from KCHD
Officials at the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department have confirmed they are investigating a possible case of bacterial meningitis. The patient is a student at Nitro High School. KCHD officials were made aware of the case on Thursday morning and immediately instituted an investigation.
According to Dr. Michael Brumage, health officer for the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department and the Putnam County Health Department, there appears to be no connection between this patient and one diagnosed earlier in Cabell County.
“Bacterial meningitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “is serious and can be deadly. Death can occur in as little as a few hours. While most people with meningitis recover, permanent disabilities such as brain damage, hearing loss and learning disabilities can result from the infection.”
The germs that cause bacterial meningitis are spread from person to person. Some bacteria can spread by exchanging of respiratory and throat secretions (saliva or spit) during close (for example, coughing or kissing) or lengthy contact, especially if living in the same household. Fortunately, most of the bacteria that cause meningitis are not as contagious as viruses that cause the common cold or the flu. The bacteria are not spread by casual contact or by simply breathing the air where a person with bacterial meningitis has been.
Meningitis symptoms include sudden onset of fever, headache and stiff neck. There are often additional symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, an increased sensitivity to light and confusion. Those who think they may have meningitis should immediately contact their health care providers.
To help decrease the chance of spreading the bacteria that cause meningitis, antibiotics may be recommended for close contacts of a person with meningitis and family members of a person who develops a serious meningitis infection. KCHD will work with family members and school officials to determine who needs to receive these drugs.
Anyone with questions should contact the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department at 304-348-1088.
