SUMMARY:School Lunch Hero Day
DESCRIPTION:The first Friday in May is School Lunch Hero Day\, dedicated to those men and women who make the cafeterias and the schools a better place to be! What was your favorite school lunch? Do you remember the smiling face who served it to you? \n#SchoolLunchHeroDay\nFor many children\, the cafeteria is the first place they enter on a school day.

The celebration provides students and communities an opportunity to create ways to recognize their school heroes. \nHOW TO OBSERVE SCHOOL LUNCH HERO DAY\nOrganize a lunch for your lunch hero! Make a card or bring a flower. Decorate a banner telling your heroes all the ways they are super! Tell your hero\, thank you. \nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Teacher Appreciation Day
DESCRIPTION:National Teacher Appreciation Day is on the Tuesday during first full week in May as a reminder to show appreciation for teachers everywhere. We are using this National Day to say thank you to all teachers for their time and dedication to educate our children. \n\n\n \n#TEACHERAPPRECIATIONDAY\nNational Teacher Appreciation Day is also known as National Teacher Day. The National Education Association describes National Teacher Day “as a day for honoring teachers and recognizing the lasting contributions they make to our lives.” \nTeachers play a critical role in educating and shaping our children into the future leaders of our country. These kind\, patient\, hard-working\, dedicated\, and understanding professionals help mold our children and guide them in positive directions. We entrust our children with teachers during the school year and they play a pivotal role in their lives daily. \nNo matter where we are in life\, a teacher influenced us. They continue to impact our lives every day\, too! When we meet new employees with a wealth of skills and abilities\, know a teacher helped shaped them. Every new business owner\, doctor\, engineer\, or nurse can name a teacher who inspired them. Every one of us has at least one teacher in mind who encouraged and motivated us during our education. Take the time today to say “Thank You” to the exceptional teachers you know. Take a moment and reflect on the teachers in your life. \n\n\n \nSHOW A TEACHER GRATITUDE\n\nRefill classroom supplies. Many teachers stock their classrooms with the supplies they need to effectively teach. However\, many teacher buy supplies out of their own pockets. Replenishing crayons\, pencils\, or construction paper is a small token of appreciation for a teacher.\nWrite a letter showing your support for your child’s favorite teacher. Kind words are a small way to encourage a teacher by reminding them the impact they are making in the lives of students.\nVolunteering at your school is a way to give teachers a much needed break. Every day\, schools rely on parent support for many programs to succeed. For instance\, volunteering to be a cross-walker before and after school or a playground monitor relieves a teacher from those duties.\nUse #TeacherAppreciationDay or #NationalTeachersDay to post on social media.\n\nSource Link

SUMMARY:National Graduation Tassel Day
DESCRIPTION:There is a class of students annually across the country celebrating their academic achievements and accomplishments\, and this National Graduation Tassel Day on May 17th is just the start. The day celebrates not only the successes but the future of every graduate!\n\n \n#GraduationTasselDay\n \n\nEach year\, auditoriums and stadiums fill with proud family and friends excited to witness the commencement ceremonies of high schools\, colleges\, and universities. Tassels dangle from the mortarboards in the colors of their esteemed institutions. With each gown crisply pressed\, graduates and families prepare for the big day.\n\n \n\nGraduates\, as your day arrives\, square your shoulders\, eyes steady on the future. Pause to consider all your challenges in realizing this moment. When the principal or dean reads your name and your diploma is in hand\, move your tassel.\n\n \n\nHigh school and undergraduate students start with their tassels on the right and move their tassels to the left upon graduation. For those earning graduate degrees and higher\, the tassel starts on the left and moves to the right upon completion of their higher-level degrees. These traditions of moving the tassel have only recently gained popularity in the last 50 years.\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE Graduation Tassel Day\n \n\nCongratulations to everyone moving their tassel and graduating! Celebrate your graduates and their accomplishments. Share memories of the years leading up to your big day\, too. Post a photo of your graduates with their tassels using #GraduationTasselDay.\n\n \n\nSource Link
