The video above is great, but this article is better. It describes how the day started as a tribute to George Washington (whose hayfield is where I teach - hence our name, Hayfield). What is interesting that a DC store started calling it Presidents' Day and not Washington. More for your students can be found here. Thanks to Bill Chapman for the heads up on the story.
