Five Things You Need to Know Today: March 15, 2011

2. Detective Richard Shin from the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and Division of Computer Crimes is hosting an "Internet Safety Parental Workshop" at 6:30 p.m. in the Maple Place School cafetorium. A "Computer Crimes" presentation will also be presented to the students of Maple Place at 9 a.m. this morning.

3. Shore Regional High School's parents of sophomore students will be meeting tonight at 7 p.m in the rear cafe. 

4. The Little Silver Warriors Boys Basketball team won last night against Belmar Eagles 39-31. The Warriors are now wielding a 23-0 season! The championship game in the "Run for the Roses" will take place on Saturday, March 19 at 2:30 p.m. against St. Leo. 

5. Today is March 15, also known as the "Ides of March". The Ides of March marks the first day of spring on the Roman calendar, as well as the Roman New Year. This day is infamously known, however, as the day Julius Caesar was stabbed to death by Marcus Brutus in 44 B.C. Oracles warned Caesar the day would probably end badly telling him to "beware the Ides of March". Hopefully, you will have better luck today than Caesar did!
