\"February<\/a><\/p>\n

How to Use the Calendar For Your Program<\/h2>\n

We have listed the daily holidays or observances that fall on each day of the month. Some days have multiple holidays, so you can choose to focus on just one, plan an activity for each one, or combine them if possible.<\/p>\n

For example, February 12th is Lincoln’s Birthday<\/em> and also National Lost Penny Day<\/em>. These were purposefully on the same day to honor Abraham Lincoln being on the coin. Plan a Penny Drive for your school or program, where each classroom raises money for a charity or to purchase equipment for the school. Learn more about this fundraiser idea here.<\/a><\/p>\n

You may choose to use the calendar to plan your activities each month and develop themes around each of the days or a combination of days.<\/p>\n

The second and third week in February includes World Radio Day<\/em> and National Innovation Day<\/em>. Incorportate STEM into both of these observances! Our Snap Circuits<\/a> sets feature several different activities that allow for problem solving, building, and creating projects like an FM radio, energy compartment, rechargeable battery, windmill, and more. Your group can get innovative!<\/p>\n
