Every year on Father’s Day, we honor the men who help shape our character through their love, guidance, and devotion. Dads and father figures across the country sacrifice so much to support their families and to ensure that their children can lead fulfilling lives.
On Father’s Day, we pay tribute to the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and father figures who lift us up on their shoulders so that we can reach our full potential.

Honoring Juneteenth
Nearly nine decades after our Nation’s founding, and more than 2 years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
As those who were formerly enslaved were recognized for the first time as citizens, Black Americans came to commemorate Juneteenth with celebrations across the country, building new lives and a new tradition that we honor today.

May is mental health awareness month. Mental Health Month raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities.
Mental health is an important part of overall health and well-being. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

“COVID-19 has brought a renewed focus to hope. Global vaccine rollouts are bringing hope back. We use the word hope as a positive and affirming verb in daily conversation. I hope you had a good day. I hope things get better for you. I hope you find what you’re looking for. We hope to get back to a more “normal” life soon.”
