Elementary social studies class celebrates 400th birthday of William Penn Sr.

“He was a knight,” one of the children announced.
“He was a member of parliament,” another said.
“He was an English admiral in the Royal Navy,” said a third.
Friday would’ve been Penn’s 400th birthday, and Fayette County’s commissioners issued a proclamation last week declaring April 23 William Penn Day in the county.
“When I saw that the commissioners made today William Penn Day, knowing that we had just learned about William Penn, his son, and why Pennsylvania is named after William Penn, I thought it would be nice to have a little birthday party and have some fun,” Frederick said.
