  NATIONAL PARENTS’ DAY National Parents’ Day honors all parents on the fourth Sunday in July. No matter where our parents may be, this day serves to celebrate their important role in our lives.  In May we celebrated mothers, and in June we celebrated fathers.  It follows that in July we can bring all our parents together and show them some appreciation all at once.   Parents play a vital role in the lives of children. From our birth, parents protect, teach, provide, and serve as role models. As part of a family, we look to them for guidance. We mirror their behavior and learn to be a core part of our communities.  Throughout our lives, our parents lead us to be independent thinking individuals.

On this particular Sunday, we honor all parents who do everything to raise and protect their children.  Pause Unmute Loaded :  14.47% Fullscree
