Presidential Message on National Teacher Day, 2020
Issued on: May 5, 2020
On National Teacher Day, we recognize the countless men and women who dedicate their lives to instilling character, integrity, and knowledge in the hearts and minds of our Nation’s students.
The classroom is a unique place for each student, providing them a sanctuary to learn and grow. The past months, however, have tested our traditional educational models, as the coronavirus outbreak has required our Nation’s teachers to adapt and provide instruction to their students through increasingly innovative means. America’s teachers have risen to the challenge by developing and implementing imaginative, creative, and resourceful strategies to bring their classrooms and lesson plans into the homes of their students. These adaptations to implement distance education are a reminder of the phenomenal work educators perform every day to ensure that our Nation’s young people have ample access to valuable learning opportunities. During this challenging time, parents and caregivers have also taken on new educational roles by facilitating remote learning. Together, teachers, parents, and caregivers have refused to allow the coronavirus to stand in the way of preparing America’s future leaders for a life filled with meaning, purpose, and success.
My Administration is working to ensure that America’s teachers always have the resources they need to deliver high-quality education to their students. In March, I signed the CARES Act into law. This historic and critical legislation includes more than $13 billion to help our K-12 teachers continue to provide quality education to our students, particularly through remote learning. Throughout my Administration, we have invested in educators so that they can continue to equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need for meaningful and successful lives.
Teachers help shape the minds of children during their most impressionable years, strengthen and support their communities, and develop the leaders of tomorrow. Today, we pay tribute to these extraordinary and thoughtful men and women and thank them for their compassionate service to their communities and country.

Presidential Message on Cinco de Mayo, 2020
Issued on: May 5, 2020
I send my warmest greetings to all who are celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
Today’s celebration is usually filled with joyous gatherings of families and friends rejoicing in a unique part of Mexico’s rich history. Although this year’s celebration may not include the usual festivities and parades, the holiday’s underlying story of perseverance and resilience is as relevant as ever. On this day 158 years ago, the Mexican army mounted a monumental defense of freedom, defeating imperialist French forces in the Battle of Puebla. The battle reminds us that great challenges and hardships can be overcome by unwavering resolve and a determined spirit.
Melania joins me in recognizing the Mexican American community for its numerous exceptional contributions to our country, particularly today with so many Americans of Mexican descent serving on the frontlines in our fight against the coronavirus.
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
