I used to be able to find colorful kid-friendly calendars for each month with national days listed. Now I just find lists of days on this site. Do you still post the monthly calendars?

Hi Tammy. We discontinued the calendars about a year ago.

Is there an August 2022 printable calendar available? We use it at the school for planning different activities. I used to be able to find the printable calendar each month but I don't see August.
