We are celebrating the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln all week at Rye Junior High School and particluarly on Febraruy 12th. There are a number of activities that are highlighting the man, his perserverence and his Presidency. A pretty amazing story from humble beginings, he is a testament to how someone with an incredible intellect and work ethic could rise to such a stature. My first Lincoln quote is:
The books and your capacity for understanding them, are just the same in all places... Always bear in mind your own resolution to scuceed is more important that any other thing. - Abraham Lincoln
