There is no yearly calendar. This page lists all the monthly calendars, which get updated periodically as the month approaches.

Is there any way that I could get the whole year for 2022? I am the secretary for Washington PreK School and our children love celebrating. I'm big on planning in advance. Thank you

The calendars take me a long time to do put together, so I can't get them all ready at once. Most are available at least a few months ahead of the month. In the meantime, for the later months, last year's calendars are always available. The days are listed but on a different day of the week. Perhaps you could use this for planning.
