The president is the leader of the United States and lives in a big, famous house called the White House. Presidents’ Day is a time to remember all the people who have led our nation and helped it grow. Many schools teach kids about famous presidents on this day. It is a fun day to learn about history and dream about how we can be leaders too!
- George Washington was our very first president, and you can see his face on the dollar bill.
- Abraham Lincoln was our sixteenth president, and he was very tall and wore a big black hat.
- There have been more than 45 presidents in our country’s history!
