A Caring Heart

Today is Nurse’s Day! During times like these, we are reminded of the important role our health care professionals play in caring for people in crisis. We want to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to all the dedicated nurses for their courage and commitment to their patients and the communities they serve.

From their life-saving skills to bringing a small sense of comfort with the cute or humorous scrubs they often wear, nurses are an essential part of our healthcare and some of the heroes we recognize now more than ever. Thank you for everything you do!

NOTE: National Nurses Day is the first day of National Nursing Week, which concludes on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Yet the week was first observed in the US in October 1954 to mark the 100th anniversary of Nightingale’s pioneering work in Crimea.

A Teachers Touch

It’s once again that special time of year to shower teachers with praise and appreciation for all they do for us.

Teachers make a difference and play a pivotal role in the lives of millions of children every day. This year during these challenging times and with the abrupt end of the physical school year, teachers have had to rise to the occasion and do even more–with virtual classrooms, video chats, and home lessons–to continue educating and making sure every student has the tools they need to reach their full potential. Because of this, students will look back at the unique school year and remember the lengths to which their teachers reached out to them and attempted to restore normalcy.

While we appreciate our teachers every day, during this week, lets truly recognize their hard work, acknowledge the impact, they have on our lives, and show our gratitude for their commitment to students’ well-being and long-term success.

NOTE: National Teacher Day is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week of May (May 5). It was first advocated for by former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1953, she addressed Congress hoping to convince them that teachers needed a day to be recognized. At that point, some schools were already observing the day, but there wasn’t a national consensus and she wanted to make it official. Despite her best efforts, it wasn’t until 23 years later, in 1980, that National Teacher Day became official.

So Grateful

Gone are the days where being a superhero meant wearing a cape or having a superpower.

Today real-life superheroes are doctors, nurses, hospital staff, first responders, truck drivers, grocery store clerks, and ordinary people who give of themselves, perform acts of kindness, or just rise to the occasion to help others.

On this National Superheroes Day, we would like to thank all those who have transformed into everyday superheroes by being on the front lines, working long hours and fearlessly, and selflessly putting themselves at risk for the rest of us during these challenging times.

In celebration of National Superhero Day –a day to honor superheroes, both real and fictional– here is a review of the Super Hero ornaments included in the 2020 Keepsake Ornament line.
