Show Pog4 Wednesday, February 1 3, 1 980 Sixth grade students at Valley Mew state their views about Presidents Day and patriotism: Marisa Navarro Weve had presidents from one to thirty-ninAnd everyone has just been fine. Theres Washington, Lincoln, and Carter too, They run our country and thats what they do. They battle through trials thick and thin, Youll never know just who will win. We have our freedom of what we can do, But we must obey the law and our President too. The Oath of office is what they say, To make sure that they do obey. The flag of our red, white and blue. It is so very, very true. e, Sharon Hansen We had good presidents for years, of them are good. and I think most But I think they should be a president for 2 years only. I think we should appreciate all our presidents for years. I hope will have lots of President for years. I think all the presidents fought for our country and the people. We thank President Lincoln for freeing the slaves. I like the president because they fought for us. I think we should love each and every one of them. Kelly Endo The sixteenth president is Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was the one who freed the Negros from slavery. I like Lincoln because he helped some people solve their problems. In Springfield Illinois, is a fmous state memorial. Lincoln bough a plain white frame house in 1844. He and his family lived there until he became president in 1861. Lincoln was the president I liked best. Brad Dawson It means our freedom. It means all the Presidents weve had in the last few years. It means our rights and our freedom. It means we have someone govern us and to tell us what to do in the war. There were many like President Carter, President Lincoln, President Washington. But theres so many I cant name them all. The President I like the most is President Carter because he is helping us right now and because he wont let the Shah be killed for trade for our own people. One should not kill another person just because they want to. All the presidents were good. I liked them all because all of them would fight for our rights. They wouldnt just give up and drop it. They would try and try to get what we wanted. And thats what Presidents day means to me. Shane Opheikens Presidents Day is a day where we celebrate all our presidents. They help us with our problems, and get us gas from other countries. And when people rob us and steel from us they make sure they get the person who did it. They help us keep the laws and they keep their promises. They try to do their best on the things people do wrong and then they try to get them right. Jennifer Hill Washington and Lincoln are alike in many ways. There alike because they both were presidents and there birthdays are in the same month and they both did good jobs being president. Washington was are first president and he was known for choping down a cherry tree but we know that realy isnt true. Hs was known for sighning the Declaration of Independance and for being the first president of the United States and he was also known for father of his country for nearly 20 years. Lincoln was are second president and he was known for freeing the slaves and for the Gettsyburg address. And he also was the first president elected by the republican party. By Mike Talbot What Presidents day means to me Is a real neat thing, because it reminds you of a lot of grand things. but most thing Its reminds me of is Presidents like. George Washington now take that man for instant. That man was a great person, he got us freedom to live with out a King or Queen but a President. Abraham Lincoln was another great President because he reunited our union and helped the blacks get there freedom of being slaves and he was our sixteenth President. Ulysses Grant who else fought to get the union back together as a general of the union side and then became the eighteenth President. Jimmy Carter our President know is trying to get the hostages, out of Iran and who cares about our people and who is serving our thirty-nint- h President. That what Presidents day means to me. Michelle Blackley Presidents day means to me fhe freedom, we have, the good Presidents we,ve had, and the importance of our Presidents. Weve had alot of good Presidents. Everybody in America should honor all the Presidents. Two of are most popular Presidents are Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. We thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing the slaves and his honesty. We thank George Washington for leading are country through the great war. George Washington was also our first President and all Americans should honor, and thank all our Presidents. Dennis Ellis I like Presidents Day because its a day that represents the presidents of the United States. Our president represents the people that help pass laws and they try to help keep peace with other countries. They help to solve problems with the people. And if we need a new law the president helps decide it. : ; ; ; , |
