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  "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.

Daily Student Success Statement

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right." -Dean Smith  Reflection:  What I believe this quote means is that you shouldn't do something just so people can like you, you should do it because it's the right thing to do. Instead of doing things for attention you should do it for your own good. Don't try to please others, and do what's right.  For example say you saw someone throw trash on the floor, you should do it because you are trying to do what's right, instead of let's say only doing it because there were a lot of people watching you and thinking good things about you. Try to remember that someday people will forget what you did and not remember any of your past actions, but even if they forget what you did the change you made to help the world will always be there. Popularity won't last forever, but everything you have done to help your environment, community, or peers will remain there fo...

The education requirement system is a bit weird, at least i my opinion. Although I like helping people I do not enjoy lots of physical contact as I get awkward easily. I also believe that I will not be able to do waht they do.
