National Parents' Day honors all parents and parental figures 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. As many of us know, those efforts can be challenging. The world is changing as quickly as they grow. Often the sleepless nights and worry seem endless. Today, we especially focus and we honor all parents who do everything to raise and protect their children.

This Juneteenth is marking over 155 years of celebrating the emancipation of African Americans from slavery in the U.S. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to announce the end of the Civil War and enforce the Emancipation Proclamation that had been issued by President Lincoln in 1863: declaring all enslaved people to be free.
Despite the proclamation taking effect two years earlier, over 250,000 enslaved people in Texas remained unaware and enslaved until Granger’s arrival. In Galveston, he read General Order No. 3, proclaiming their freedom.
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, honors this pivotal moment in history. In 2023 it was declared as a federal holiday to be recognized nationally. Today brings a great opportunity to educate ourselves and others about our history and cultures that makes up the United States of America.

Did you know there are two doughnut holidays each year?
That’s right— twice the excuse to indulge! The first sweet celebration lands on the first Friday in June, and the second is in November. The June version, known as National Doughnut Day, was started by The Salvation Army as a way to honor the brave “doughnut lassies” —women who fried up doughnuts in service helmets and served them to soldiers during World War I. Years later, a new generation of morale-boosting women, known as the American Red Cross
“Doughnut Dollies,” continued the tradition by supporting troops during Vietnam.
Over time, “doughnut” has often been shortened to
“donut,” thanks to pop culture influences like The Simpsons and the ever-popular Dunkin’. And let’s be honest—whether you’re calling it a doughnut or a donut, we can all agree they’re delicious!
These days, doughnuts have gone beyond simple powdered sugar or cinnamon. Hometown bakeries and specialty shops are dreaming up all kinds of mouthwatering combinations, like key lime pie, mocha crème, or even mango-filled delights. Some are topped with everything from cereal and crushed candy to flavored drizzles and cookie crumbles.
But no matter how wild the toppings get, many still believe nothing beats the simple joy of a warm, freshly glazed donut.
With so many delicious options to choose from, what better time to enjoy your favorite than National Doughnut Day on June 6? Whether you stick with the classics or try something new, there’s a donut out there for you.
