SUMMARY:Fathers Day
DESCRIPTION:On the third Sunday in June\, Father’s Day honors the role fathers play in the family structure and society. The day recognizes not just fathers\, but the father figures in our lives. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives. \n#FathersDay\nMany families dedicate the day to their fathers and grandfathers. Whether they are first-time fathers just learning to change a diaper\, or experienced fathers offering sage advice\, the day celebrates everything a father is. Fathers from family to family play a variety of roles. They may be a caregiver\, provider\, or advisor. Some fathers are the strong\, silent types. And yet others tell us stories for days. Fathers teach\, guiding small hands as they hammer a nail or sail a kite. \nWe only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point\, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point\, we turn and look forward together. \nSTN Inspirational Quotes To Keep You Inspired in 2021

SUMMARY:National Friendship Day
DESCRIPTION:Friendships come in many forms\, and we begin developing them when we’re very young. Throughout our lives\, friendships and their meanings evolve. Our classmates and neighborhood pals explored the world with us. Together we shared experiences and made plans for the future. Eventually\, paths diverge and new friends find a place in our social experience. Our world expands and our culture changes. \nWith each new friend\, we expand our view of the world. Their experiences contribute to new meaning in our lives. Through friendships\, we grow and broaden our horizons. Eventually\, the world becomes smaller and more connected. \nCelebrating National Friendship Day on this Sunday

SUMMARY:National Sister Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sisters Day on the first Sunday in August celebrates the unique bond between sisters. This particular set of siblings embrace moments that make them laugh and cringe. While they don’t always agree\, sisters have each other’s backs. \n#NationalSistersDay\nAll siblings have the odd argument here and there\, but deep down there’s little way around the natural connection between siblings. Even those who don’t have a natural sister sibling know the bonds of sisterhood. Those who forge a relationship with their spouse’s sisters understand. Also\, women who support each other through difficult times form a sisterhood. \nCelebrating National Sister Day on this Sunday \n \nA sister is like yourself in a different movie\,\na movie that stars you in a different life. ~ Deborah Tannen \nNo two sisters are alike. From love interests to cars\, sisters will disagree. And food\, cleaning\, and children require interventions. However\, we rely on each other while privately envying a sister’s style\, ability or grace. A sister understands when no one else does\, sometimes when even you don’t. So\, sister time provides vital healing. \nWhether your sisters harrassed you from day one or found you later in life\, this day brings you back together. Cherish the memories and make plans to create new ones. Reconnect or patch up any misunderstandings. Sisters are forever.

SUMMARY:National Foster Day
DESCRIPTION:We are raising our voices on the first Tuesday in May to celebrate National Foster Day and encourage everyone to wear blue in support for foster youth in the U.S. \n\n\n \n#FOSTERCAREBLUE\nAs we kick off Foster Care Month\, we are providing the platform to help repair a system that is plagued with shortages nationwide. National Foster Care Day shines a badly needed light on the foster care system. There is a nationwide shortage of foster parents. In addition\, stipends provided to foster care parents do no cover the essentials of a growing child. \nEvery 2 minutes\, a new child is placed within the foster care system. Currently\, there are over 400\,000 children in the system at any given time. Many youth enter the foster care system with little to no belongings. Sadly\, many of these kids have also suffered the effects of abuse\, poverty\, neglect\, or even the death of their loved ones. The need for support services\, essential items\, and foster parents is high. Foster children have an uphill battle with startling statistics to overcome and need the support of our communities across the country. \nFoster Care Statistics\n\nAround 250\,00 children enter foster care each year.\nOnly 50% of youth in foster care graduate high school.\nFoster children suffer PTSD at more than twice the rate of U.S. war veterans.\nOne out of five foster children experience homelessness within 1 year of aging out of care.\nOne-third of young women in foster care are pregnant or parenting by the age of 17 or 18.\nMore than 70% of inmates incarcerated were in the foster care system at one point.\nStipends do not cover the essentials of a growing child.\n\n\n\n \nWhen you volunteer to become a court appointed special advocate or foster care parent you receive specialized training. You are not just providing a home for the child\, you are a representative providing a safe haven for abused and neglected children. \nNationwide\, there is a shortage of licensed foster homes. In the U.S. alone\, more than 100\,000 children waiting for a family to call home. Organizations like Ticket to Dream and Project Blue will help guide you on your journey to become a foster parent. Together\, you will make a difference to help foster children heal and grow to their full potential. \nRAISE AWARENESS\n\nVolunteer for your local foster care nonprofit to raise funding.\nOpen your hope to a foster child by becoming a foster parent.\nShare this page to increase awareness and interest in the foster care system.\nWear blue to show support for foster care youth.\nShare your stories about foster care using #FosterCareBlue on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Foster Day
DESCRIPTION:We are raising our voices on the first Tuesday in May to celebrate National Foster Day and encourage everyone to wear blue in support for foster youth in the U.S. \n\n\n \n#FOSTERCAREBLUE\nAs we kick off Foster Care Month\, we are providing the platform to help repair a system that is plagued with shortages nationwide. National Foster Care Day shines a badly needed light on the foster care system. There is a nationwide shortage of foster parents. In addition\, stipends provided to foster care parents do no cover the essentials of a growing child. \nEvery 2 minutes\, a new child is placed within the foster care system. Currently\, there are over 400\,000 children in the system at any given time. Many youth enter the foster care system with little to no belongings. Sadly\, many of these kids have also suffered the effects of abuse\, poverty\, neglect\, or even the death of their loved ones. The need for support services\, essential items\, and foster parents is high. Foster children have an uphill battle with startling statistics to overcome and need the support of our communities across the country. \nFoster Care Statistics\n\nAround 250\,00 children enter foster care each year.\nOnly 50% of youth in foster care graduate high school.\nFoster children suffer PTSD at more than twice the rate of U.S. war veterans.\nOne out of five foster children experience homelessness within 1 year of aging out of care.\nOne-third of young women in foster care are pregnant or parenting by the age of 17 or 18.\nMore than 70% of inmates incarcerated were in the foster care system at one point.\nStipends do not cover the essentials of a growing child.\n\n\n\n \nWhen you volunteer to become a court appointed special advocate or foster care parent you receive specialized training. You are not just providing a home for the child\, you are a representative providing a safe haven for abused and neglected children. \nNationwide\, there is a shortage of licensed foster homes. In the U.S. alone\, more than 100\,000 children waiting for a family to call home. Organizations like Ticket to Dream and Project Blue will help guide you on your journey to become a foster parent. Together\, you will make a difference to help foster children heal and grow to their full potential. \nRAISE AWARENESS\n\nVolunteer for your local foster care nonprofit to raise funding.\nOpen your hope to a foster child by becoming a foster parent.\nShare this page to increase awareness and interest in the foster care system.\nWear blue to show support for foster care youth.\nShare your stories about foster care using #FosterCareBlue on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:Fathers Day
DESCRIPTION:On the third Sunday in June\, Father’s Day honors the role fathers play in the family structure and society. The day recognizes not just fathers\, but the father figures in our lives. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives. \n#FathersDay\nMany families dedicate the day to their fathers and grandfathers. Whether they are first-time fathers just learning to change a diaper\, or experienced fathers offering sage advice\, the day celebrates everything a father is. Fathers from family to family play a variety of roles. They may be a caregiver\, provider\, or advisor. Some fathers are the strong\, silent types. And yet others tell us stories for days. Fathers teach\, guiding small hands as they hammer a nail or sail a kite. \nWe only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point\, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point\, we turn and look forward together. \nSTN Inspirational Quotes To Keep You Inspired in 2021

SUMMARY:National Friendship Day
DESCRIPTION:Friendships come in many forms\, and we begin developing them when we’re very young. Throughout our lives\, friendships and their meanings evolve. Our classmates and neighborhood pals explored the world with us. Together we shared experiences and made plans for the future. Eventually\, paths diverge and new friends find a place in our social experience. Our world expands and our culture changes. \nWith each new friend\, we expand our view of the world. Their experiences contribute to new meaning in our lives. Through friendships\, we grow and broaden our horizons. Eventually\, the world becomes smaller and more connected. \nCelebrating National Friendship Day on this Sunday

DESCRIPTION:National Sisters Day on the first Sunday in August celebrates the unique bond between sisters. This particular set of siblings embrace moments that make them laugh and cringe.

Also\, women who support each other through difficult times form a sisterhood. \nCelebrating National Sister Day on this Sunday \n \nA sister is like yourself in a different movie\,\na movie that stars you in a different life. ~ Deborah Tannen \nNo two sisters are alike. From love interests to cars\, sisters will disagree. And food\, cleaning\, and children require interventions. However\, we rely on each other while privately envying a sister’s style\, ability or grace. A sister understands when no one else does\, sometimes when even you don’t. So\, sister time provides vital healing. \nWhether your sisters harrassed you from day one or found you later in life\, this day brings you back together. Cherish the memories and make plans to create new ones. Reconnect or patch up any misunderstandings. Sisters are forever.
