>> i am a teacher, so i love anytime when we can turn the

white house into a classroom. and that's what we are doing today. the south lawn is transforming into a learning playground and school community. and there is so much to discover. listen to a story in the reading look. -- nook, explore space, make circuit breakers, write notes to our troops. take a field trip to a farm. and so much more. education expands our horizons and transports us to new worlds. just like these balloons, it allows all students to soar and reach unimaginable heights. i hope that you all learn something new today. but most importantly, i hope you all have fun. and now, it is my honor to

please welcome my husband, the president of the united states, joe biden. [cheers] pres. biden: happy easter. we did everything, but we couldn't control the weather. although i was told it would get sunny. folks, welcome to what's expected to be the biggest white house easter egg roll ever. [applause] i want to thank the national park service, the white house historical association, the american aid board and our nations aid farmers. they have done a great job. thank you for making the special tradition possible.

it began in 1878 because they wanted to have easter egg roll on the park grounds, but they weren't allowed to do it. so the president said, let's have it on the white house lawn. they cannot stop that. it has been going on since then. easter reminds us of the power of hope and renewal, sacrifice, and resurrection. but mainly, love and grace towards one another. it's time to pray for one another. to cherish the blessings and the possibilities that we have as americans. that's what i see in our country. we are a great nation because we are good people. our values are solid. the rest of the world looks to us. we are determined to keep up that banner. and because of you, the american

people, and i mean this sincerely, i have never been more optimistic about america than i am today. we have a norma's opportunities, enormous -- we have enormous opportunities, enormous opportunities. we just have to remember who we are. the united states of america. and there is nothing beyond our capacity. god bless you all. enjoy the day. and i'm coming down to do the easter egg world in just a minute -- roll in just a minute. thank you everybody. by the way, say hello to our buddy. -- to the easter bunny. a pretty big bunny. thank you all very, very much. it's all yours. ♪
