A Time to Recognize Fathers

Father’s Day was Sunday, June 21, 2020

Father’s Day is a relatively modern holiday. Different families have a range of traditions. These can range from a simple phone call or greetings card to large parties honouring all of the ‘father’ figures in a particular extended family.

Father figures can include:

• fathers
• step-fathers
• fathers-in-law
• grandfathers and great-grandfathers, and
• even other male relatives

Some students do not have a father at home.  Some mothers fill in as a father-figure. And some families have another male person who is a caregiver to you.

STUDENT VOICE

The people who make up our families love and care for us. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day,  Grandparents Day, and Family Day are special days in which we show our appreciation for the wonderful people in our families.

“This is how I was able to use my strengths to contribute to my family.”
