National Themes For May 8th: National Coconut Cream Pie Day, National Have A Coke Day, National Receptionists’ Day, National Third Shift Workers Day, National School Nurse Day, and National Bike To School Day.

🍰National Coconut Cream Pie Day was created in honor of the delicious pie made with a sweet coconut cream filling.

🍹National Have a Coke Day. Coca-Cola, often referred to as Coke, is a carbonated soft drink that is produced by The Coca-Cola Company. Coke is a registered trademark of the Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944. As of 2013, Coke products can be found in over 200 countries around the world as consumers down more than 1.8 million company beverage servings each day. In the late 19th century, John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola, at Pemberton’s Eagle Drug and Chemical House in Columbus, Georgia, intending it as a patent medicine. It was then bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler. Candler’s marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. ✨1891 – The first bottling of Coco-Cola occurred at the Biedenharn Candy Company in Vicksburg, Mississippi. ✨1894 – The first outdoor wall advertisement that promoted the Coca-Cola drink was painted in Cartersville, Georgia. ✨1914 – The longest running commercial Coca-Cola soda fountain anywhere was Atlanta’s Fleeman’s Pharmacy. The pharmacy closed its doors in 1995 after 81 years. ✨1944 – July 12, the one-billionth gallon of Coca-Cola syrup was manufactured by the Coca-Cola Company. ✨1955 – Cans of Coke first appeared.

📞National Receptionists’ Day was created to give recognition to receptionists and the valuable contributions they make to the companies they work. Receptionists are responsible for providing an excellent first impression to all customers, in person, and on the telephone. Their customer service skills play a vital role in each company’s image. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than a million receptionists in the United States. National Receptionists’ Day was created in 1991 by the Director of the National Receptionists Association to “gain awareness and appreciation of the role of receptionists in a business setting and to provide community and support for receptionists nationwide.”

⌛️National Third Shift Workers Day, which is also known as National Night Shift Workers Day, is annually observed on the second Wednesday in May. This day was created to honor all workers, who work hard through the night. While sometimes the job keeps a manufacturer running 24 hours a day, other third shifts keep us safe through the night. Third shifts are certainly not new to hospital workers or emergency personnel. Other third shift workers keep cities running without a hitch.

👩‍⚕️National School Nurse Day is always the Wednesday of National Nurses Week. National School Nurse Day honors all school nurses who care for the children in the schools every day. School nurses promote learning through healthy children. School nurses are often the first place a student thinks to go when they don’t feel well or have been hurt, but they provide a wealth of information that supports a successful education as well. On National School Nurse Day, remember all the reasons the nurse is available to your school. On July 4, 1968, the National Education Association established the Department of School Nurses (DSN), an association dedicated to the advancement of school nursing practice and the health of school-age children. Over the next few years, each state established its own school nurses association under the umbrella of the Department of School Nurses. In 1974, President Ford proclaimed the fourth Wednesday in January as National School Nurse Day. School nurses are now nationally recognized and celebrated for contributing to the health and well-being of the nation’s students.

🚴🏼National Bike to School Day! Built on the popularity of National Walk to School Day, which is celebrated each October, National Bike to School Day was created to provide an opportunity for schools across the nation to join together to celebrate the energy of National Bike Month. In coordination with the League of American Bicyclists’ National Bike Month, the first National Bike to School Day was celebrated on May 9, 2012. There were close to 1,000 local events in 49 states and the District of Columbia that joined together and encouraged children to safely bicycle or walk to school. In 2013, more than 1,700 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, participated in National Bike to School Day events, which took place throughout the month.

I'll take a pass on the pie. And can I make mine a coke slush. I love coke slushes. Receptionists' are important to a companies image. I'm glad they have their own day to shine even more. Third shift is not a shift I would like but my hubby worked it for 19 years and he liked it. I went to a four room (2 classes per room) school, our school nurse was our teacher calling our parents to come get us. Another profession that needs recognition. In all my school days I only rode my bike to school one time and that was because there were 8 of us that live within a mile and a half of each other and we all got together and rode them to school. It was the last time, by the time we meet, then rode to school it was to far.

We weren't in the 80's but we did make mid 70's and now we're back in for more rain.

Warm hugs!🐶🐶💕☀️🌻
