Presidents Day

Presidents Day
Monday February 19

                           
Washington's birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States, who was born on February 22, 1732. We celebrated this day on Monday, February 19.

The origin of Presidents Day lies in the 1880's, when the birthday of Washington-commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution and the first president of the United States-was first celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays. 

Some ways to honor and show respect on Presidents Day is to learn all 44 presidents' names. Tour the White house. You can do an activity that will teach students all that is required of a president. The president wears many hats, and bears a lot or responsibility. Another way to honor our past presidents is by creating a monument. Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln helped reshape our country. Today, the nation honors their contributions by teaching our students important facts about these presidents. A fun ways to discover these facts is to have students become time travelers, and go on a scavenger hunt.

A fact is that is became a holiday is 1879.

Softball Game  Western Oregon vs Central Washington ''Its A Great Moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.'' Coach Pam Knox This story is about that there was a softball game. There was this one girl named Sarah Tucholsky who had never hit the ball out of the field but this time she did. When she hit it she ran to the first base and then she hurt her leg. She couldn't get up to run to the other base. Coach Pam Knox asked if her team members could go help her out or if they could switch a person with her so they could finish it. They said that her team members couldn't touch her or help her if they did they would get a point deducted. So her team members couldn't do anything. Now there were two girls from Central Washington named Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace. They decided to go help her out.
