President’s Day

                                                                           Monday February 16

                                President’s day is every third Monday in February. It was originally on February 22, George Washington’s birthday but was change to every third Monday in order for workers to have more days off. Presidents’ Day is now universally seen as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present. A way to show honor and respect on president’s day is to show off the United States flag in front of your home. The day honors past presidents of the USA. In the weeks or days leading up to the holiday, schools often organize events and lessons for students about the presidents of the United States and George Washington in particular. A good way to show honor to the past presidents and the current president is by taking a moment of silence.
