John F. Kennedy


Meet the 34th president!
First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy restored the White House and made it a cultural hub visited by distinguished writers, artists and musicians. True or False?

Look closer!
Look at the picture of President Kennedy in the Oval office with his children Caroline and John, Jr. at Halloween. Do you think the President or First Lady helped with the costumes? Have you ever worked with your family members on an art project, like a costume? Describe the experience.
