Dennis Boggs as Abraham Lincoln
Mr. Boggs finds that the most rewarding part of his program is through his 'Question & Answer Session' which immediately follows his presentation. During this time, President Lincoln is able to address such issues as peer pressure, self-esteem, gun safety, addiction, and grief. Students are challenged to ask more, seek more, and read more. Mr. Boggssays that if he can influence one child to read a book, ask a question, or most of all, stay inschool, then it has definitely been worth all of the effort that he has put forth. Meet Mr. Lincoln is a program that can be customized for all grade levels from Pre-K to College and it's appropriate anytime throughout the school year. Nothing better prepares today's students to face the future, than the study of the past.
