Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

Today is Honest Abe's 200th Birthday...and because of that, I may have made my way into the Guinness Book of World Records!

When I got to school this morning, the History teacher informed me that we were going to take part in a state-wide effort to make history by having the most people simultaneously read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. So at 9:30 am, the 200 or so junior high students, along with the teachers, all read the speech together. Schools across the Land of Lincoln took part this morning. I'll let you know if we made history. But it was kind of cool to participate in something like that knowing I could be a part of a World Record! Something you don't get to do everyday :)
