No School on Saturday Feb 14 or Monday Feb 16

The Adult School will be closed on Saturday February 14 and Monday February 16 because it is Presidents Day Weekend. On Presidents Day we remember President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln.

George Washington was the first president of the United States. His birthday was February 22, 1732. He was a general in the Revolutionary War. The U.S. fought the Revolutionary War against the British. The U.S. won the war. This was the beginning of the United States. Sometimes Washington is known as the Father of our Country.

Abraham Lincoln was the president during the Civil War. His birthday was February
12, 1809. He freed the slaves. Some people think he was the greatest president we have ever had. He grew up poor and suffered from depression. He had many hardships in his life. He was assassinated during his second term as president.

What does "assassinate" mean? It means to kill a leader. Sometimes we say that to assassinate someone is cut the head off the snake. Without the head, the snake cannot live. Without a great leader, sometimes a country does not move forward.

Both these men had great love for their country. February 14 is a day we celebrate love of all kinds, especially romantic love. Do you know the name of this holiday?
Yes, that's right: Valentine's Day!

Who and what do you love?
Who and what inspires you to do great things for others?
And what does "inspire" mean?
