Head Lice Prevention Month<\/a>. With school starting in September and knowing that most elementary kids don’t have a lot of sense about these things, I can understand the need to discuss it in school. But honestly, to actually have it on a calendar along with other awareness topics like Fire Prevention Week, National Crime Prevention Month and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month seems trivial.<\/p>\nI actually did a little research and found a few different websites that have pages of different awareness and prevention days, weeks and months. As quirky as it sounds, I am hypnotically drawn to them and will soon find myself wandering back to the site to see what I should be aware of today.<\/p>\n
I will waste my time so you don’t have to waste yours. I promise not to share each one with you since that would be . . . well, weird. But I will periodically post an update with the current awareness and prevention information for your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n

With school starting in September and knowing that most elementary kids don’t have a lot of sense about these things, I can understand the… Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"bgseo_title":"","bgseo_description":"","bgseo_robots_index":"","bgseo_robots_follow":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5Oho-4T","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1038,"url":"http:\/\/selectmetrix.com\/blogs\/2007\/06\/july-is-_____-national-awareness-month\/","url_meta":{"origin":303,"position":0},"title":"July Is _____ National Awareness Month","author":"Lee Fratzke","date":"June 28, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"It has been a while since I last posted about important upcoming dates.
