Paraprofessional Appreciation Day honors the classroom aides, instructional assistants, and paraeducators whose one-on-one support makes inclusive education possible for students with disabilities. World Party Day was launched in 1996 after the idea appeared in Vanna Bonta’s science fiction novel Flight, calling for a simultaneous global celebration on April 3. American Circus Day marks the April 3, 1793 first performance of John Bill Ricketts’s circus in Philadelphia — the first circus in the United States. Pony Express Day marks April 3, 1860, when the first Pony Express rider departed St. Joseph, Missouri, carrying mail 1,900 miles to Sacramento in ten days. Support, confetti, a horse trick, and a horse race.
