August Diversity Highlights




August is filled with special days and celebrations that remind us of the diversity and importance of different aspects of our lives. As we celebrate the US Coast Guard's Birthday and the first day of classes, we also honor Respect for Parents Day, showing appreciation for everything they do. Blogger Day and Farmworker Appreciation Day allow us to recognize those who share stories and work hard to bring food to our tables. Purple Heart Day honors the brave soldiers injured in service, while National Face Mask Day reminds us of the importance of health. International Youth Day celebrates the potential of young people, and World Breast Cancer Research Day highlights efforts to find a cure. World Humanitarian Day honors those who help others in need, and National Senior Citizens Day celebrates the wisdom of our elders. Slavery Remembrance Day helps us remember and learn from the past, while Women’s Equality Day marks the progress and struggles for women's rights. Individual Rights Day reminds us of the importance of our freedoms, and World Distance Learning Day highlights the power of education no matter where we are. Throughout National Heritage Week and National Wellness Month, we celebrate our diverse cultures and focus on our health. Family Fun Month and National Coconut Week encourage us to spend time with loved ones and enjoy delicious, healthy treats.  Remember to join us on August 3, 2024, as we kick off the beginning of the school year with the D204 Lions International Back-to-School Story Time Literacy Partnership!
