March 4: Happy National Grammar Day!

Friday, March 3, 2023

First recognized in 2008 by President George W. Bush, National Grammar Day is dedicated to spreading the word that grammar matters and was started by Martha Brockenbrough, the founder of the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar.

As Brockenbrough stated, “Language is something to be celebrated, and March 4 is the perfect day to do it. It’s not only a date, it’s an imperative: March forth on March 4 to speak well, write well, and help others do the same!”

In that spirit, celebrate National Grammar Day by sharing one of the posts below:

"I thoroughly enjoyed having author Kimberly Dana read at East Side Story bookstore to read her original works in front of a group of home-schooled students. She was such a natural at showing the story's pictures to the children while at the same time making it very easy and fun for the kids to follow along with her heartfelt messages found in 'Pretty Dolls' about bullies and lessons about growing up in general. I am honored to promote and sell Dana's work, and am already planning our next reading at the bookstore!" Chuck Beard, Owner of East Side Story Bookstore

Definition of Middle School

"Middle school is kind of like Middle-earth. It’s a magical journey filled with elves, dwarves, hobbits, queens, kings, and a few corrupt wizards. Word to the wise: pick your traveling companions well. Ones with the courage and moral fiber to persevere. Ones who wield their lip gloss like magic wands when confronted with danger. This way, when you pass through the congested hallways rife with pernicious diversion, you achieve your desired destination—or at least your next class."
