In recognition of this year’s National Parents’ Day (July 28), Team AgLearn is providing information and resources to celebrate the parents and parent figures in each of our lives.

Background

While Mother’s and Father’s days were first officially celebrated in the early 1900s, National Parents’ Day wasn’t established until 1994. President Bill Clinton established the holiday by signing the Congressional Resolution that approved National Parents’ Day by law. Senator Trent Lott introduced the law, with the aim of “…uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children.”
