Teachers’ Day today is the first that preschool teachers get to celebrate

1.
Is 'preschool teachers and early educators get to celebrate' an appositive to 'the first'?
Or is it an adjective clause modifying 'the first'?
2.
I wonder whether I shoud use 'the' in 'In Lee Hsien Loong's facebook', ie 'In the Lee Hsien Loong's facebook'.
Would you be so kind as to help me?
Thanks!
