The COVID-19 pandemic led the White House to cancel the Easter Egg Roll in 2020 and 2021.
The president encouraged one young egg-roller, coaching the child, “Go. You got it.”
The theme for the day was “egg-ucation.” The first lady, a community college professor, turned the South Lawn into a school community with a variety of educational stations. Besides the egg roll and an egg hunt, the event included a schoolhouse activity area, a reading nook, a talent show, a place to teach about farming, a photo-taking station, a physical “egg-ucation” zone with an obstacle course, and a “cafetorium” where children learned to make treats.
“This year we’re finally getting together again, and it’s so special,” the president told the guests.
