Monday is President's Day and the rest of the week is off also, so Melissa and Will took the microphones out of the luxurious Lioncast Studio to see how much the faculty know about the U.S. Presidents. Did you know that Presidents Day was originally recognized as Washington's Birthday? At that time, Washington was the only individual recognized with his own holiday. President's Day is now intended to celebrate all Presidents, not just Washington and Lincoln. Now we have two other federal holidays dedicated to individuals. Can you name them?
While Will and Melissa were out they stopped in on Ms Reschke and Ms Downing and got to hear Fourth Grade flawlessly recite the 45 U.S. Presidents, in order. Did you know that although Donald Trump is our 45th President, he's only the 44th person to hold the job? Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President of these United States.
Can you name the future Presidents who signed the Declaration of Independence? The answer is at the end of this episode. This is the only place to get that information.
