    Kirkland Crossings May 2021 The Origin of Mother's Day he present-day celebration of Mother's Day began in the year 1908 when Anna Jarvis organized a memorial for her mother, also named Ann Jarvis who was a T peace activist and cared for the wounded soldiers of the American Civil War. The event was held at the St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which currently holds the International Mother's Day Shrine. Daughter Anna began the task of getting support for the celebration of Mother's Day in the United States in 1905 after her mother died that same year. She wanted to honor all the mothers of the world who had done a lot for their family and society. Due to her continuous efforts, most of the US states by 1911 started celebrating Mother's Day as a local holiday and the West Virginia, the home state of Jarvis. became the first state to declare it a holiday in 1910. Finally, the second Sunday of May was officially designated as Mother's Day in the USA and was declared a national holiday after Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of United States of America, signed the proclamation in the year 1914. In this way, the present Mother's Day came into existence in the USA and the same date is also selected by countries like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Italy, Singapore, Belgium, and a lot more other countries. Why do we celebrate Mother's Day? Mother's Day is celebrated in various parts of the world to express respect, honor and love towards mothers.

NATIONAL SIBLINGS DAY THE READING / TAPESCRIPT National Siblings Day (NSD) is celebrated on April 10 each year in the USA. It is the brainchild of Claudia A. Evart, who created it after the deaths of her brother and sister. She wanted a day for all Americans to think about the importance of the relationships they have with their brothers and sisters. She created a Siblings Day Foundation to establish this special day and has managed to get 40 state governors to declare Siblings Day in their states. More and more people are accepting NSD and it now has a “Special Mark” from the US Patent and Trademark Office. If it keeps growing in popularity, it could be up there on the holiday calendar with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Do you ever stop and think just how important your brothers and sisters are to you? Do you ever wonder what life would be like without a brother or sister, to be an only child? Our siblings are quite often the people with whom we have the longest relations. More often than not, we are together in infancy, play together, grow up together and grow old together.

    JEFFERSON PARISH EMPLOYEE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION BOARD APRIL 2021 CALENDAR BULLETS Autism Awareness Month is a time to educate your community about autism and Light It Up Blue! Spreading autism awareness in schools is a great way to celebrate April and promote inclusion and acceptance in the classroom and beyond. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopment disorders. The term “spectrum” refers to the wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of disability in functioning. In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association merged four previously distinct diagnoses into one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These included autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDDNOS) and Asperger syndrome. Children and adults with ASD are fully able to perform all activities of daily living while others require substantial support to perform basic activities. ASD occurs in every racial and ethnic group, and across all socioeconomic levels. However, boys are significantly more likely to develop ASD than girls. The latest analysis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 68 children has ASD. Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person depending on the severity of the disorder. Symptoms may even go unrecognized for young children who have mild ASD or less debilitating handicaps. It is important that early evaluation is conducted, by an expert, so that indicators of ASD are detected and may have a dramatic impact on reducing the symptoms. Autism and other forms of disability are part of the human experience that contributes to human diversity. March 27th – April 4th Passover – The Jewish people celebrate Passover as a commemoration of their liberation over 3,300 years ago by God from slavery in ancient Egypt that was ruled by the Pharaohs, and their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses.

In these times it is normal to feel anxious, and while we have some more difficult days ahead, we can help one another stay encouraged and positive. #IAmCFT is where we share the stories of our members across the district. Our first video was launched just before the shelter in place order and features Christine Gibson, PhD (teacher at Roll Hill). Our second video features our “Unsung Hero’s”; volunteer members who are site champions passing out food, toiletries, books, supplies and more at LEAP Academy.
