A great leader....


Tomorrow is the 200th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
(We made top hats today in school to celebrate.)
He took our country through some challenging, difficult times
and was a wise leader and an amazing person.
Here are a few good quotes from one of our most popular presidents.

"I am successful today because I had a friend who believed in me
and I didn't have the heart to let him down."

"The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly."

"If you look for the bad in people, expecting to find it, you surely will."

"Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm."

He believed in a "...government of the people, by the people, for the people,.....with malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right. Let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds."

What a great role model!

President Lincoln truly was an amazing leader who helped pave the road for much of the success and freedom we're blessed to experience in our country. He is a great role model for all of us.
