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.

Student Sucess Statement

Daily Student Success Statement  "When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." -Alan Paton Reflection: I agree with the statement by Alan Paton. If someone does something for you, you must forgive. Forgiveness doesn't have to start right away, but it has to start somehow. If you don't forgive you'll grow old and you'll still be filled with hate for someone. Instead you should have forgiveness and enjoy a good life with no hatred . For example let's say your neighbor crashed into your car, you should forgive them eventually. Sure, at first you might be mad for what they did to your car and how much it will cost you, but eventually you should forgive them. What good does being filled with hate and not forgiving someone bring you. Instead of being bitter and mad at people, you should be happy knowing you gave them a  second chance and maybe even changed their life.
