HAPPY PRESIDENTS’ DAY On the third Monday in February, our Nation observes the Federal holiday known as Presidents Day in honor of all who have served as Commander In Chief. The holiday began as an annual celebration of Washington’s Birthday, but it was changed to celebrate all U.S. Presidents. George Washington was the irst President of the United States and is considered to be the “Father of our Country.” He was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland, Virginia. As a young adult he worked as a land surveyor before beginning his military career. He fought through the Revolution- ary War, and on April 30, 1789, he took the Oath of Ofice and was sworn in as the irst President of the United States. President Washington held ofice for only two terms--from 1789 to 1797. He helped to pick the sight of the White House which has been home to all of the American Presidents but him. Washington’s birthday was made an oficial holiday in 1885 by President Chester Arthur. Our Nation’s current leader is President Barack Obama. He is the Nation’s 44th President. MOUNT RUSHMORE Can you name the 4 Presidents in the picture to the right?
