President Barack Obama is already hard at work at the White House, but some students in Yonkers are still celebrating his historic inauguration three days after he was sworn into office.
The students from the Charter School of Education Excellence are having fun celebrating "Obama Day" on Friday. Most students agree that Obama will be a great president who will do good things for education.
Community leaders and elected officials have advice for the children. They say the students should follow Obama's example of setting a goal and working to achieve it.
