February is a month that is general devoid of great
holidays. At one time, the birthdays of two of America’s presidents were
celebrated during the month, that of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
More recently Presidents Day was established as one of the third Monday
Celebrations to commemorate the efforts of all 45 of our US Presidents. In many
schools across the country, President’s Day is a “no school” day. Many retail
establishments have used the day to have sales and special events. Other
schools will be in session making up missed day from snowstorms or the
hurricanes.
