Daily Holidays -April 4

National Cordon Bleu Day Annually celebrated on April 4 is National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day. It is all about a special dish combining chicken, ham and cheese.

The French term Cordon Bleu is translated as “Blue Ribbon”.

“Cordon bleu is a breaded cutlet dish of meat (traditionally veal, but pork or chicken are common) pounded thin and wrapped around a slice of ham (or prosciutto) and a slice of cheese (such as Swiss), breaded, and then pan fried or baked.” (Wikipedia) http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2015/04/03/april-4-2015-national-chicken-cordon-bleu-day-national-hug-a-newsperson-day-national-school-librarian-day-national-walk-around-things-day/

NATIONAL HUG A NEWSPERSON DAY

The Merriam-Webster dictionary tells us that the word “newsman” dates back to 1596. They have been working hard for many years to bring us the news from around the world. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2015/04/03/april-4-2015-national-chicken-cordon-bleu-day-national-hug-a-newsperson-day-national-school-librarian-day-national-walk-around-things-day/

National School Librarian Day. It is set aside to honor all school librarians. All of the daily hard work and dedication given from these librarians often go without our appreciation.

The school librarians aid our youth in many ways and their patience is an example to them on a daily basis. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2015/04/03/april-4-2015-national-chicken-cordon-bleu-day-national-hug-a-newsperson-day-national-school-librarian-day-national-walk-around-things-day/

At the local "urban" elementary school -- in other words, the school with the poor black and white town kids instead of the school with the poor black and white rural kids.

She loves being a librarian. A few years ago, her ex even bought her a librarian action figure, with moveable shushing motion!

I don't know of any remaining in our area of Southern California. My grammar school librarian had a lasting impact on me.
