One Maverick Celebrates Leap Year Birthday

One Maverick celebrates his birthday today.

The Leap year was introduced to the calendar by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. Egypt. Leap years happen once every four years, giving an extra day to the end of February.

The chance of being born on leap day is one in 1,461 days, making it the rarest birthday one can have. Daunte Tyree is the only student at McNeil that has this birthday.

“I like that my birthday is on Leap Day because It’s unique,” Tyree said. “On years when there is not a leap day I celebrate on both February 28 and March 1.”

Tonight Tyree plans on going downtown to celebrate by going downtown with his family.

About the Contributors

Daniela Corral, Reporter

I’m Daniela Corral and I am a Junior this year. After one year of yearbook staff I have switched over to be a member of the Trailblazer staff. I participate in XC, track, and green club. Outside of school I like to read, hangout with friends/dog and watch Seinfeld. I’m really looking forward to being in newspaper this year!

Scout Bradley, Reporter

Hi! This is my first year being a reporter on the Trailblazer staff. I run on the McNeil cross country and track team. I enjoy listening to music, running and spending time with my friends. I am excited for the upcoming school year.
