Yes I can remember that.
And I can remember my children, in elementary school, drawing pictures of both Lincoln and Washington, in February, and pictures drawn by children being displayed in their school.
It’s hard to believe now , but these events happened in a public school in California.
On Lincoln’s birthday bakeries sold little log cakes. A lot like yule logs but with a more spring theme.
Then of course Valentine’s Day with candy an at our house.. a large heart shaped strawberry shortcake.
And the months finale! Cherry pie!

Not hard for me! We did this in our (California) elementary school as well.
February was such a special month! Still winter, but with two Presidents’ birthdays, plus Valentine’s day!
We also made cherry blossom trees using black construction paper for the trunks and branches and pink tissue paper for the blossoms.
