First observed in 1885 to honor President George Washington’s birthday, the holiday now known as Presidents’ Day occurs the third Monday of each February as a day to honor all U.S. presidents. Whether you spend today reading, speaking, thinking, and writing (as sixth President John Quincy Adams encouraged) or in some other pursuit, we wish you a Happy #PresidentsDay, and look forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow! 🇺🇸
