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 Successs Statement

"Being a c-t-r person isn't always easy, but it's the best person you can be." -Diana Beltran  Reflection: I agree with this statement and know that it is correct. This statement says that being a c-t-r person at all times can be hard at times. So it means that sometimes there can be temptations when having to make a choice. Sometimes you feel the urge to chose the wrong. Which is true, a lot of times you want to do something you know it's wrong but you shouldn't.
