Attention, Sprague Students. This Monday is Presidents’
day. It is the day that we honor both
Abraham Lincoln and George Washington’s birthdays. Together they are our greatest presidents. George
Washington, who was born on February 22, led America to independence from the
British. He refused the title of king,
and stepped down from the presidency.
Thomas Jefferson said this about Washington: “He was incapable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the
calmest unconcern.” Abraham
Lincoln was born on February 12th, in 1809. He was president during the Civil War, and
managed to help free the slaves and save the Union of the United States. He loved to read and had special compassion
for animals. Once, when he was young
lawyer, he went into a large mud puddle to free a pig that was stuck! These presidents saw our day and hoped that
America would remain a union: free, with rights for all. When you do the right thing, are kind to
others, and stand up for equality, you are honoring their memory.
