Let's honor and recognize the worth of every person on National Each Person is A Person of Worth Day - because everyone deserves to feel valued and appreciated!
Get ready to spread love and kindness on March 24 for National Each Person is A Person of Worth Day! This day was founded by Barbara A. Lewis, an educator and author who wanted to promote acceptance and appreciation for diversity among children. Each person, regardless of their race, gender, religion or background, is celebrated for their unique worth and value in society. It's a reminder to treat others with respect and recognize the inherent worth in every individual. So let's celebrate this special day by embracing our differences and showing compassion towards one another!
