The Burpees for Vets Challenge is a call to action to support U.S. veterans in the run-up to Veterans Day. And it just takes 11 seconds. The challenge asks people to donate $11 and then do 11 seconds of burpees on social media to support veterans transitioning back into civilian life. The challenge will culminate with a Navy Seal simulation event on Veterans Day, which will be broadcast on NBCLX. LX News Now host Jobeth Devera talked to athlete and activist Brian Ford about the challenge.
For many parents, school holidays can sneak up -- especially in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic that saw education calendars be anything but normal.
If you've ever said, "Wait, there's no school tomorrow?" in disbelief, know you are not alone. So if you're wondering, no, there is no school for New York City public school students on Veterans Day, which is Thursday.
There's no remote learning, either, since it's an official holiday, unlike last week's Election Day that saw public schools go fully remote.
Check the full school calendar here (and maybe keep it bookmarked).
