Bring out your green! St. Patrick’s Day—observed every 17th of March—is packed with parades, good luck charms, oversized hats, and all things green. The event started as a religious holiday, but over time it’s become a celebration of Irish culture.
Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals, ceilidh, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks.
Here are some fun facts you can share with your little one on this day:
It is believed that Saint Patrick chased the snakes into the sea and banished them all from Ireland.
The shamrock is a symbol of Ireland.
The Chicago River is turned green every year to celebrate!
If you’re not wearing green, you might get a pinch from a leprechaun!

Happy International Women's Day!
Every year on 8th of March, International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world!
But why – you might ask – do we have a day, especially for women? Well, it’s fair to say that throughout history, women haven’t received the fairest treatment.
Women haven’t always been able to work, vote, or been given the same rights as men.
Since the early 1900s, women around the world have celebrated International Women’s Day, campaigning for equal rights and shining a spotlight on brilliant women across the globe.

Happy Purim everyone!
On Purim we celebrate the bravery of Queen Esther, a very smart Jewish woman who was married to a king, Ahashverosh. When Esther learned that Haman, who worked for the king, was plotting against the Jews, she summoned the courage to tell the king about Haman's evil plan and saved her people.
The Purim story helps kids learn about courage, bravery, and standing up for what's right. Your kids can grasp the themes of the story, without knowing the gory details. Here are some questions to kickstart conversations:
Who is a hero?
What does it mean to be brave?
When was a time that you felt brave?

Happy Valentine's Day! 💝
Candies, flowers, heart-shaped notes—what’s not to love about Valentine’s Day? This sweet celebration, which happens every year February the 14th, is all about love. 🥰
The holiday we know today got its name from a man named Valentine. While a few different stories are told about what he did to inspire the holiday, many people believe he’s celebrated for his role as a Roman priest who helped couples secretly get married.
As the story goes, Emperor Claudius II of Rome—who reigned from the year 268 A.D. to 270 A.D.—banned marriage because he thought unmarried men made better soldiers. Valentine thought this was unfair and decided to break the rules and perform marriages anyway. He kept the ceremonies quiet, but he was eventually caught and later sentenced on February 14 of the year 270 for disobeying the emperor. Right before his punishment, Valentine supposedly wrote the first-ever “valentine” to the woman he was in love with.
Later, in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I declared the day of his death as St. Valentine’s Day.
Are you familiar with this story? 🤔

Happy Tu B’Shevat! 🌳🌱
Tu B’Shevat/Tu BiSh’vat, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the birthday of the trees, occurs on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shevat, sometime in late January or early February. Originally an agricultural festival, the main customs of this holiday are to taste some of the fruits and nuts of Israel and to plant trees.
Tu B’Shevat is a time to give gratitude for all the fruits of the earth. It’s a wonderful holiday to experience with your children—good food to eat, fun activities to do together, and a great opportunity to talk to your little ones about the environment.

Happy Groundhog Day! 🐾
Every year on February the 2nd people gather at Gobbler’s K**b in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to witness, America’s only true weather-forecasting groundhog - Phil's prediction. 🌞
According to tradition, if the groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, it gets scared and runs back into its burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring.
Let's all hope Phil won't see his shadow this year and the warmer weather will arrive soon! 🌞🌸🌿

“Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every February, we celebrate the achievements and history of African-Americans as part of Black History Month.
It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African- Americans living in the United States today.
Among the notable figures often spotlighted during Black History Month are
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who fought for equal rights for Blacks during the 1950s and ’60s; Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American justice appointed to the United States Supreme Court in 1967; Mae Jemison, who became the first female African-American astronaut to travel to space in 1992; and Barack Obama, who was elected the first-ever African-American president of the United States in 2008.
This year's theme of Black History Month is "Black Resistance".
Black Resistance can take many forms, including seeking knowledge about our histories (both during and post-slavery and genocide as well as pre-slavery and genocide), partaking in the arts, driving political action, challenging racist medical practices, supporting Black authors and entrepreneurs, and even taking up space by honoring and making visible our histories, communities and cultures through celebrations.
