Just talking with them is a history lesson,” he added.
Rogers said that at the Ronald Reagan President Foundation and Institute, “We believe it’s especially important for kids to learn about Presidents’ Day in a meaningful way, which is one of the reasons we’ve kept this a free, family-friendly event. It’s not just another day off from school, but a holiday worth understanding.”
