Mother ’ s Day is about honoring motherhood in different forms throughout the world . Mother ’ s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and Mother ’ s day became an official U . S . holiday in 1914 . Jarvis denounced mother ’ s day from commercialization and then tried to remove it from the calendar . The dates and celebrations can vary , Mother ’ s Day mostly falls on the second Sunday in May . Mother ’ s Day usually means that you present your mom with flowers , cards and other gifts . Here are some ideas for gifts that you can get your mom :
� Flowers

� Show your love Make sure you show your mom how much you appreciate her this Mother ’ s Day- after all , without her , you wouldn ’ t even be here !

Leonie Krahn is our foreign exchange student this year . At first she wanted to move to a bigger school . There are positives and negatives about being in a small school . She said that in a small school you are able to get to know everyone better and the teachers can help you understand your classes more . Leonie said her biggest challenge of being here was getting used to her surroundings since we live in the middle of nowhere . Since we are in a small school Leonie was able to be involved in many extracurricular activities . The extracurricular activities she was involved in were volleyball , basketball , track , dance , cheer , one act , speech , choir , and FBLA . Leonie isn ’ t able to say what her favorite thing has been because there are so many things that she really liked . She enjoyed the extracurricular activities , school dances ( especially prom ), going to the big apple , husker games , visiting South Dakota and many more . Leonie hopes that she won ’ t forget anything about her time spent in Litchfield . She hopes that she will stay in touch with her friends and even get opportunities to come back and visit .
