Father's Day is the most celebrated of any June holiday. It was first celebrated on June 19, 1909 in Spokane, Washington. It is a day set aside for all children to honor their fathers. Most commonly a card and gift is given by the children and in many house holds the wife also gives her husband a gift. Sometimes they are small tokens of ones love or an expensive or elaborate gift. That date was chosen as it was her father's birthday. The third Sunday in June was set aside in order to celebrate Father's Day in 1924. There is a good page to visit for a thorough history of Father's Day given in a Father's Day speech from the floor of Congress by Senator Robert Byrd. An excellent page to visit is Annie's Homepage full of facts, fun and ideas. Another good page to visit is No Place Like Home For The Holidays. . And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." *Ephesians 6:4*

Most schools in the US have their graduation ceremonies in June whether it is High School or College. Grade schools and middle schools quite often hold graduation ceremonies for Kindergarten and for the children moving up to the next level of school. Some of the grade schools even go all out with caps and gowns for the little ones and they all give graduation certificates to the students.
