Presidents Day

Presidents Day

What is it?

President Washington's birthday is also known as president's day, which is a day to honor and celebrate the presidents of the United States. President's day was originated in the 1880 as a federal holiday to celebrate George Washington's birthday. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to monday. 

When is it?

President's day in 2018, will be celebrated on monday, february the 19th. In the United States, presidents day is always celebrated on the third monday of the month of January due to the Uniform Monday Holiday bill passed in 1968 by Congress. 

What are ways to show honor and respect?

In The United States many states people celebrate president's day, Washington's birthday, and Lincoln's birthday at once. But in the weeks leading up to it, many schools choose to educate their students by organizing  events and lessons in order for students to learn more about their presidents. On this day many people don't attend school or work, so they spend time with their family and show respect for those who have lead our country.  

How can YOU show honor and respect?

I can show respect by not going to school. Pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States. Learning about the presidents and their great deeds.

Daily Student Success Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "True Independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right."  - Brigham Young  Reflection:  I agree with this quote because true independence and freedom can only exist  in doing what's right. So do what's right because it's important to be independent and live freely once you start choosing the right. Like Brigham Young University students don't use bad language, they don't drink alcohol, and caffeine which includes coffee and soda which is so sad. But they resist temptations anyway. SO choose the right.

Daily Student Success Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "Character is higher than intellect" -Ralph Waldo Emerson  Reflection: I agree with this quote, as I personally like it. This quote is saying that  having a good personality is more important than being a  smart person. So it's technically  saying that although intelligence is important, being nicer to others is more important. So it doesn't matter how smart you are, your kindness is all that matters. So if you don't go to college and not get a job and you end up homeless as long as your nice, everything will be great. So be nice, being kind matters most. It's like if they check someone's grade, and a person has an A in a class but U for behavior and another person has a B but an E in conduct, they will choose  the person with the lowest grade. So don't forget to behave well, have good character. This is all because grades shouldn't be your priority. Behavior and good character should be your priority.

Student Success Statement

 Student Success Statement I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor,' I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me given my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No, never! I'd die first." -Karl G Maeser Reflection: I agree with this quote because it tells us that keeping our promise is very important. Making a promise not only affects you, but also the person you made a promise to. They depend on you keeping that promise. If you do not keep that promise you might harm them or take away an opportunity from them. Not only do you harm them you also lose their trust.. By breaking your promise, chances are they will never trust you again. And if for some reason there is an emergency or a valid excuse...
