Happy 200th Birthday President Lincoln!

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

In honor of President Lincoln’s 200th birthday, Pennoyer School joined with over 200,000 Illinoisans and people around the globe to celebrate by reciting the Gettysburg Address at 9:30AM, CST.  By doing this, we may have set a world record.  Here is a link to the Lincoln Museum.  Check back to see if we made it.
