The Day You Were Born Was a Beautiful Day
I am excited to share that Oklahoma State Organization’s Statewide Project for the 2023-2025 Biennium is the Beautiful Day Foundation which began in Duncan, OK and is moving across the state. Twenty-twenty three marks the 10th Anniversary of this foundation and we have an opportunity to help more schools become a part of the celebrations by sharing Beautiful Day. All you have to do is spread the word and/or volunteer once a month to help at your local school if a school wants to be a Beautiful Day School. With the mental health crisis in our schools, we know too well that the power of knowing you matter can change children’s lives. About Beautiful Day Beautiful Day’s original mission began with a simple statement to elementary school age kids:“The day you were born was a BEAUTIFUL DAY. Your life and existence are worthy of being celebrated.” We are passionate about telling children this important message. We want kids to know that they are seen and loved by the community they call home. Once a month we throw awesome birthday parties in elementary schools, celebrating every kid with a birthday that month. Balloons! Cards! Singing! All of it! We gather community volunteers to sit with them and tell them face-to-face, “The day they were born was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!” Our mission – not complicated. It is pure and simple, but it is also critical. It is critical to the condition of a child’s heart to know they matter and to know they are seen. A child can experience extreme loneliness and/or feelings of isolation if they do not feel connected, loved,and supported where they live and go to school. BEAUTIFUL DAY is honored to be a piece of this support system in the schools and in children’s lives. BEAUTIFUL DAY began in Duncan, OK and in that first year 107, kids were celebrated in one school. Years later, this vision continues to spread further and further into many different communities. BEAUTIFUL DAY’S pure message of love is contagious!

If your chapter needs a project to partner with others in your community…this might be it! (What a way to meet young teachers.) Hopefully, each chapter will plan to make a financial donation to augment ongoing birthday parties for the schools already enrolled. The amount is according to the desires of your members. I wanted you to have time to plan for that in a chapter meeting. Thank you for your support of our statewide service project, Jo Ann | ||||
