Pillow Fight Day

Tangible Karma Day
The History of Tangible Karma Day
Here's some ideas on how to observe this day

D.A.R.E. Day
Most of us know what D.A.R.E. is, but in case you don't click here
With our changing and shifting culture, including the influence of technology, D.A.R.E. has expanded from their original mission of drug awareness to include awareness of all things that can cause poor decisions, unhealthy choices, and unsafe environments.

Walk Around Things Day
The ideas are limitless for what you can walk around today!

World Rat Day
Ew.
One of my favorite books from childhood was Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh.  Why not read the book today on your own or with some kiddos? If you don't have time to read the book you could always watch the movie even though the book is WAY better!
Okay, even though rats gross me out (their tails give me the shivers...) here's some info about them.
Rat Behavior and Biology
Top 10 Worst Rat Cities in the World
Ew.

Vitamin C Day
Bring on the Vitamin C! 
12 Foods With More Vitamin C Than Oranges
Is it possible to take too much vitamin C? (hint: yes.)

Cordon Bleu Day
Kosher Cordon Bleu :)
Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipes
Have some Cognac

Hug a Newsman Day
Don't you think your local newsman/woman might be a little creeped out if people started randomly hugging them? Um, 3 feet of personal space people, unless you are personally invited to come in closer!

School Librarian Day
Seriously. PLEASE thank you school librarians today, they put up with a lot between teachers and students.  They do WAY more than re-stock shelves and track checked out books. Check out this sample job description listing qualifications and job duties from the American Library Association.
Treat your school librarian today.  Maybe give them some hand lotion, coffee gift card, a home baked treat. Most importantly give them respect as a year long thanks!

Tell a Lie Day
So here's the deal.  The only acceptable "lie", in my opinion, are those involving planning a surprise for someone (a nice surprise not a mean or hurtful one).  So if that's the lie you are telling today then go for it! :)

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
