Did you like my poem about Mr. Klutz’s hair that he doesn’t have? I tried to sound like Dr. Seuss. He was cool, even if he wasn’t a real doctor.

Anyway, being the principal is like being the president of Ella Mentry School. I guess every day is Presidents’ Day for Mr. Klutz. He told us he was getting excited about the big holiday on Monday.

“Are you going to buy a big-screen TV, Mr. Klutz?” Michael shouted.

“No, why?” he asked.

“Because they go on sale on Presidents’ Day,” Michael said. “My dad is going to buy one.”

Mr. Klutz told us he was more interested in the presidents than big-screen TVs.

“In honor of Presidents’ Day,” Mr. Klutz announced, “we’re going to have you kids vote for the president of Ella Mentry School. Whoever gets the most votes will be the president when we get back to school after the holiday. That’s how democracy works. Any questions?”

“Can we vote for any president we want?” one of the third graders asked.

“There will be two candidates,” Mr. Klutz said. “I would like to introduce them to you now. Each president will make a short speech, and then we will vote.”

Mr. Macky and Mrs. Roopy walked up onto the stage dressed like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Everybody clapped. The presidents each took a bow. Mrs. Roopy spoke first.

“My name is George Washington,” she said. “I was the first and best president! I was the father of our country. I defeated the British in the Revolutionary War. Vote for me.”
