No, if it was regular, they would have taken the day off the calender at the beginning of the year.
I remember having the option to go for Reagan's second one (bitter, bitter cold), but I was in a private school and in Prince George's not Montgomery. We did go downtown for Pope John Paul II's visit (I believe that school was canceled). Several important events (in the view of the school) were shown to us on TV; the signing of the Camp David accords, the announcement of the election of Pope John Paul I and that same year Pope John Paul II.
I chaperoned a trip for the 200th anniversary of the Constitution (held in 1987). I believe that President Reagan gave a speech.
