NATIONAL NO BEARD DAY
Annually on October 18, National No Beard Day challenges the bearded to take a bold step and go clean-shaven. Whether you've sported facial hair for years or just a few weeks, this day is the perfect excuse to rediscover the smooth face underneath and start fresh.


While beards have their own season of celebration, this day is for the smooth, the sleek, and the freshly shaven. It's a fun opportunity to change up your look, surprise your friends and family, and feel the wind on your chin for the first time in a while. Whether you have had your beard for years or it is relatively new for you, this is the day to shave it off and go smooth. Perhaps your partner doesn't like your beard, or you just haven't shaved it off for years. No Beard Day is the day to see what you look like without it.
The timing of National No Beard Day is no coincidence. Falling just two weeks before the start of November, it serves as the perfect "starting line" for charitable events like Movember and No-Shave November. These popular movements encourage participants to grow out their mustaches and beards to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health.

National No Beard Day provides the ideal opportunity for participants to shave down to a clean slate, creating a dramatic and equal starting point for the month-long journey of growth ahead.

In an age of electric trimmers, achieving a truly close, barbershop-quality shave is a skill worth mastering. Instead of a quick buzz, consider embracing the classic ritual your grandfather might have used. The results are incredibly smooth and satisfying.

NATIONAL PREGNANCY AND INFANT LOSS REMEMBRANCE DAY
National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on October 15th provides a day to honor and remember the lives of babies lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and other causes. Today, we are offering a compassionate space for parents, families, and friends to share their grief, find community, and break the silence surrounding their loss.


The journey of pregnancy and infant loss is experienced by many, yet it is often endured in silence. With studies showing that as many as 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in loss, the grief is widespread but frequently unspoken. The experience is painful, and the emotions can be overwhelming.

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day serves to acknowledge these precious lives, no matter how brief, and validate the profound grief felt by bereaved families. It is a day for community, for shared stories, and for the quiet understanding that comes from knowing you are not alone. By creating a day of collective remembrance, we help lift the stigma and isolation that many parents feel, allowing for a path toward healing.

NATIONAL STOP BULLYING DAY
National Stop Bullying Day on the second Wednesday in October brings together students, faculty, and parents to end bullying. This annual awareness day promotes standing up against and put an end to bullying.


No child should be afraid to ride a bus or go to school because a classmate threatens them. Children who have been bullied should also feel they can report the incident without repercussions. However, many times it goes unreported because of fear and embarrassment. We need to normalize what bullying is and how we can help prevent it from happening.

Be aware of the warning signs that a child may be experiencing bullying, such as withdrawal from activities, unexplained injuries, declining grades, or sudden loss of friends. Reputable sources like StopBullying.gov and PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center are excellent resources.
Encourage students to participate in activities outside the home, too. Teach children the appropriate use of the internet, social media, and text. While having daily discussions with family members about their day, share information on setting boundaries. Teach them the behavior you expect them to display, how to treat others, and provide a role model of the same.

Seeing bullying and doing nothing empowers the bully. An upstander takes safe, positive action. Don't join in: Refuse to laugh or provide an audience. Stand with the person being bullied by helping them walk away, or simply ask, "Are you okay?" This small act can make a huge difference. Alert a trusted adult like a teacher, principal, coach, or parent. Reassure those who have been bullied that their voice matters and support them in the reporting process. Help them build confidence outside of that negative situation.

NAVY BIRTHDAY
On October 13th, the United States Navy observes its birthday every year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NAVY!


The United States Navy (USN) is the United States Armed Forces' naval warfare service branch and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is currently the largest, most powerful navy in the world, with the highest combined battle fleet tonnage. The service has over 340,000 personnel on active duty and more than 71,000 in the Navy Reserve.

With only two ships and a crew of eighty men, the Continental Navy was born on October 13, 1775. The decision of the Continental Congress set the Continental Navy on course to carry arms to the British army, not to defend against it. However, these two ships and crew represent the birth of the United States Navy.

Throughout the Revolutionary War, the Navy's importance grew. Today, the United States maintains 40 naval bases across the country, including the world's largest Naval Station Norfolk, in Norfolk, Virginia.

Below the sea, submarines became a part of the Navy during World War II. While experiments began in the late 1800s and during the Civil War, they did not become a large part of the Navy inventory until World War II. At that point, subs became necessary for surveillance and rescue, even though they were also armed.

With the advent of the airplane, the Naval ships became vital stations for the Airforce as well. As a result, the Navy modified ships into floating landing strips. Today, joint Naval and Airbases, such as Pearl Harbor-Hickam, provide the country with sea and air defense fleets.

COLUMBUS DAY
Columbus Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the second Monday of October. The day commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas on October 12, 1492. While historically celebrated as the "discovery" of the Americas, the holiday's modern observance is complex and often subject to debate.


Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) was an Italian-born explorer sailing for the Spanish Crown. His objective was to find a westward sea route to Asia. On August 3, 1492, Columbus departed from Spain with three ships: the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María. On October 12, 1492, the expedition made landfall on an island in the present-day Bahamas. Columbus would make a total of four voyages across the Atlantic to the Americas.
It is a historical fact that Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas. Norse explorer Leif Erikson is credited with landing in North America around 1000 A.D., nearly 500 years before Columbus's first voyage. Furthermore, the continents were already inhabited by millions of Indigenous people.

Columbus's voyages initiated a period of sustained contact between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, an era known as the Columbian Exchange. This exchange led to the widespread transfer of plants, animals, technology, and ideas. However, these voyages also marked the beginning of European colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the decimation of Indigenous populations through newly introduced diseases, warfare, and enslavement.

In recent decades, the celebration of Columbus Day has become increasingly controversial. Critics argue that honoring Columbus overlooks the devastating impact his arrival had on Indigenous peoples. As a result, a growing movement has sought to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples' Day, a holiday that celebrates the history and cultures of the native peoples of the Americas. Many states, cities, and school districts across the country have formally adopted this change, choosing to observe Indigenous Peoples' Day in place of, or in addition to, Columbus Day.

NATIONAL HERO DAY
National Hero Day on October 8 honors the real-life heroes who inspire us to be the best person we can possibly be. Today, let's spend a little extra time thanking those who go above and beyond to care for those who need help.


If asked to define the word hero, many of us will name the qualities that demand a person rise above. The kind of qualities that genuinely drive a person to be stronger, smarter, kinder and more than the average human being. They are the people who give when they have nothing to give. Heroes act before anyone else realizes there's a problem. They volunteer to put someone else before them.

Our heroes may be the first responders who save us from a dangerous situation. They may be a mentor, like a parent or a teacher. As role models, heroes guide us through the examples they set. They live their lives in such a way that we're honored to know them and hope to live up to their example.

Unfortunately, real-life heroes rarely get recognized. Many of us take for granted the services these individuals provide in our homes, schools, communities, and country. That's why National Hero Day encourages you to recognize the heroes in your life.
