Today is…America’s Kids Day

#AmericasKidsDay

“Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” “Four score and seven years ago,” “I have a dream,” and “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”€”these are some of the most noteworthy phrases in American history. When did we first hear them and learn about what they meant? Chances are it was at a young age. America’s Kids Day is dedicated to helping American kids recognize their heritage and the importance of words just like these, and for teaching them about American history and values.

Every day we look for the best in Positive News so that you might have a great start on your day. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and support our mission.
