The 3rd Monday in February is Presidents’ Day!
Did you know that there have been 44 US Presidential administrations, but only 43 Presidents? Grover Cleveland served for
two non-consecutive terms making him our 22nd and 24th President.
More Presidential Fun Facts:
• The shortest President was James Madison at five feet two inches.
• The tallest President was Abraham Lincoln at six feet four inches.
• The youngest President elected to office was John F. Kennedy at 43 years old. However, Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest President to hold office when at the age of 42 he was sworn in after McKinley’s death.
• The oldest President was Ronald Reagan who began his first term at age 69.
• Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only President to serve more than two terms.
• William Henry Harrison served as President for the shortest amount of time – 31 days. He died of pneumonia a month after
his inauguration.
• Thomas Jefferson was fluent in English, Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian. He also learned to speak several Native
American dialects.
• George Washington donated some of his own silver spoons and forks when our new country needed silver and gold to make
money.
• Warren G. Harding once gambled and lost all the White House china on one hand of cards.
• Franklin Pierce was arrested for running over a woman while driving his carriage in Washington, DC. The charges were later
dropped.
• Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding while driving a horse and buggy in Washington, DC. He had to pay a fine of $20
and walk back to the White House.
• Dwight David Eisenhower liked playing golf so much he had a putting green built on the White House lawn.
• Benjamin Harrison had the White House wired for electricity, but because he was afraid of getting shocked, he would not
touch the switches!
• Lyndon B. Johnson used to go through the White House at night to turn off any lights that weren’t needed. He didn’t want
to waste the taxpayers money!
A Presidential Sense of Humor (true story!)
When Will Rogers was at the White House to meet President Calvin Coolidge, Vice President Dawes warned him to not try to
be funny because the President did not have a sense of humor. Rogers responded by betting Dawes that he could have Coolidge laughing within 20 seconds.
When the formal introduction was made, Dawes said, “Mr. President, may I introduce my friend, Mr. Will Rogers.”
Rogers held out his hand with a questioning look and said, “Pardon me, I didn’t quite get the name.”
Coolidge roared with laughter, and Rogers won the wager.
Quote of the Day:
“I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I’m in a cabinet meeting.” ~ Ronald
Reagan

Now it is time to make your box. If you have double-sided
tape use that, it will make your life a lot easier. I, of course,
did not. So, I used regular tape and some scrapbooking.

Fold in the 2 sides and tapes together. Then glue the

and edged them with my black sharpie. Then with a fine
