On the third Monday in February, schools are closed as the United States celebrates the federal holiday known as Presidents' Day. Why February? It is the birth month of the country’s two most prominent presidents: George Washington, the first president, and Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president who ended slavery. While it began with them, Presidents' Day is now popularly seen as a day to recognize the lives and achievements of all of America’s chief executives. This Presidents' Day, don’t miss the chance to learn more about our country and the leaders who have led it. #PresidentsDay
