5 Things: Retirement Board, 8th Grade BHS Orientation

Every four years, because the Earth does not rotate around the Sun in precisely 365 days, there is a leap year and February gets another day. But you all know that. Here, though, is some trivia for you: leap years occur in unison with U.S. presidential elections, happen every eight years on rare occasions (the next time will be between 2096 and 2104), and also coincide with the summer olympics and the European Football Championship.
