West Leyden Student Activities
Stop by the Student Activities Office during your lunch period this Friday, January 12th, to "Kiss 2023 Goodbye"!
"Kiss 2023 Goodbye" by:
- Filling out a card with your 2024 New Year's resolution. In return you will receive a Hershey's Kiss! Your resolution will be posted on the window of the Student Activities Office.
- Guessing how many Hershey's Kisses are in the jar displayed in front of the Student Activities Office. The student with the closest guess (without going over) will win the ENTIRE jar of Hershey's Kisses!
Making New Year's resolutions dates back to around 2000 B.C.!
The Babylonians kicked off their new year with a 12-day festival called "Akitu". During the festival, they would pledge to pay their debts and return any borrowed farming tools. Eventually the Romans adopted the Babylonian tradition of making resolutions and the rest is history!
