Minot Forest Elementary first graders became presidents on Thursday.

Students in Kathy Harunk and Suzanne Allen's classrooms have been learning about America's presidents since last month. After being assigned a particular president to research, students completed a report and a portrait of the president.

And Thursday, dressed as the presidents they researched, students told an auditorium full of parents and fellow first graders where their president was born, along with fun facts.

"I loved jelly beans so much that I kept a big bowl on my desk," said Brendan Cavacas, who represented President Ronald Reagan.
