Mother's Day

Mother's Day in the United States is the second Sunday of May.

The next date is May 9, 2027. Dates follow Mountain Time, America/Denver. Stories below are from the archive.

How to take part

Free and safe. No fee, no student email, and no trip taken alone.

  • Write a note or do a chore for someone who looks after you.
  • A phone call is enough if a visit is hard. Do not travel alone.
  • If the day is sad, it is fine to skip it and read a kind story instead.

For classrooms

A short prompt for a teacher to use with children. This page is for adults.

Make a card for any adult who takes care of people, including a teacher or a neighbor. Do not require a card for a mother, and do not collect money.

More stories a teacher can read aloud are in the Kids section.
