Mark your calendars for the special celebration of Absolutely Incredible Kid Day® on March 21, a time set aside to recognize and celebrate the amazing young individuals who fill our lives with joy and wonder. The day has an interesting history attached; it was created by Camp Fire, a non-profit organization, in 1997 to encourage adults to let children in their lives know how much they are appreciated. Ever since then, every year on this day, letters, cards and messages are shared all around the globe, highlighting how truly incredible children are. We find absolutely incredible things in kids every single day; their uniqueness, their dreams, and their boundless efforts to learn and grow. Let's celebrate this day with all the enthusiasm it deserves!
