We will celebrate Presidents’ Day next Monday, February 21. We, as a nation, have had so many great presidents over the years! Many students and staff members shared who their favorite president is and why, including Mr. Strasburg. “George Washington is a founding father and an American hero. He led the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War through overwhelming odds and defeated the greatest military power in the world at that time. Washington continued to serve the U.S. as its first president. Being the leader of a country is an incredible job to take on. I think being the leader of a brand new nation would be substantially harder considering almost everything is being built from scratch.” Mr. Hindman agreed, saying, “He helped our country survive in the beginning. Our country might be a lot different if Washington was not our first president.”
Janet Bouchey and Paulette Marez both like John F. Kennedy. Janet said, “He was good for America. I remember him because he was Catholic, which at that time was controversial, and he was assassinated.” Paulette said, “President Kennedy was very diplomatic with other foreign leaders, as well as his own Congress. He believed in taking care of our country and its people with his economic plans. He was a big proponent of our “race to space” program.”
