🇺🇸⚔️ Happy Father's Day, Pirate Nation! ⚔️🇺🇸
This Father's Day, Crandall ISD celebrates all the Pirate Pops, dads, grandfathers, and father figures who mentor, protect, and inspire our community. We are grateful for your strength and guidance.
Did you know the history behind this special day? The first official Father's Day celebration was held in Washington state on June 19, 1910, following a campaign by Sonora Smart Dodd. She wanted to honor her father, a Civil War veteran who raised six children single-handedly. After decades of local and state recognition, President Richard Nixon signed it into law as a permanent national holiday in 1972.
Today, we honor that legacy. Thank you for making a difference.
