The 2016 PSAT/NMSQT is also the qualifying test that students must take to enter

Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May, honoring men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally know as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.
The members of the Wilmot band thank those men and women, and their families for their special sacrifice on this special day.
