About Mothers Day
Anna Jarvis held the first Mother's Day observance in 1908 in Grafton, West Virginia, honoring her own mother, and President Woodrow Wilson set the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in 1914. The carnation became the emblem of the day because it was the favorite flower of Jarvis's mother. Jarvis later campaigned against the selling of cards and candy for the occasion. Several words here, including the corsage and the locket, trace back to those early customs.
Reach for this sheet in the first week of May, when a classroom or family is marking the holiday and wants something quiet to work on.
