Save a Penny, pick it up, Not many of us cling to pennies these days because you cannot go to a store and spend ONLY a penny. However, the man on the penny was an influential president in the mid-1800s who has paved the way for all men and women to have an equal opportunity to learn and grow in our communities and schools today. Starting from a small log cabin, he accomplished many things in his lifetime. He was a store owner, a lawyer, a congressman, and then became President of the United States. He was the leader during the Civil War in the mid 1800s and also helped to free slaves, and he only lived to be 56 years old! What do you think you will accomplish by the time you are 56 years old? Do you think that this man expected people to learn about himself in schools? Some of the greatest leaders were humble servants, and now is our time to give back by using our freedom to investigate and learn about the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln so that we can continue it in our communities and schools. |
