On Inauguration Day the candidates, who won the elections in the previous year, are sworn into office
as president and vice-president of the United States. The swearing-in ceremony takes place at the
U.S. Capitol and is organized by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. It is
usually followed by a parade along Pennsylvania Avenue.
The new president watches the parade from the presidential viewing stand in front of the White House.
The route of the parade is often lined by thousands of people. However, many Americans watch the
ceremony on television or listen to it on the radio.
The head of state of the USA has been a president since 1789. In that year, George Washington was
elected and inaugurated as president of the United States of America. He was inaugurated for the first
time on April 30, 1789, and for the second time on March 4, 1793. Subsequent
inaugurations were held on March 4 until the second inauguration of President
Franklin Roosevelt on January 20, 1937. Since then Inauguration Day has been
held on January 20 and the term of office officially starts at 12:00 noon on that
date.

Usually the vice-president is sworn in first and the president at exactly 12:00
noon. After they have been sworn in, the president and vice-president are given
four ruffles and flourishes. The ruffles are played on drums and the flourishes on
bugles, which are simple brass instruments with no valves. The ruffles and flourishes form a fanfare before performance of the president's anthem, "Hail to the
Chief", and the vice-president's anthem, "Hail, Columbia". There is then a 21-gun
salute from the howitzers of the military district of Washington.
Resources for parents are available inside the front door of the school. The
pamphlets available cover topics such as Getting a Child Ready to Read, Helping My Child with Homework, and 25 Ways to Help my Child Read to name a
few. There is also a suggestion box if you would like to make suggestions for
the school.
