Today we celebrate:

Child Health Day – This is a day dedicated to protecting the health of the children of the United States. It is always celebrated on the first Monday of October.

World Habitat Day – This is also celebrated on the first Monday of October and is for the purpose of reminding the world that habitats are of vital importance whether they are for humans or animals. Many countries in the world have poor habitats for humans and fundraising events are happening today to raise money for poor communities around the world.

You Matter To Me Day – This is a day to make sure that everyone knows that they matter. Make sure you tell this to the people you love. It could make a big difference in their lives. http://www.youmattertomeday.com/ 

World Day of Bullying Prevention / Blue Shirt Day: - Celebrated on the first Monday in October, this is a day to stomp out bullying. Wear a blue shirt today to show solidarity to those who are being bullied and to spread the news that this behavior needs to stop.

To celebrate today, wear a blue shirt and take your child to the doctor for a checkup. Make sure you tell everyone how much they matter to you. Before the day is out, look into the habitats of poor countries and consider donating to organizations that work to improve them.
