On National Cherry Cheesecake Day, April 23, we’re celebrating the smooth dessert topped with antioxidant-loaded cherries. We always knew it was a classic, but did you know it dates back to 2,000 B.C.? The cheese-based delicacy has long been a favorite but has changed in many ways over the years. Today, we most often imagine cherry cheesecake with a graham cracker or pastry crust, filled with cream cheese, and topped with nutrient-rich cherries — with a drizzle of thick cherry sauce to top it off. Our mouths are watering just thinking of it!
Shakespeare Day
National Shakespeare Day is celebrated all over the world on April 23 and we are getting ready to enjoy the day in the best possible way — by watching his popular plays, talking like his characters, and even trying to dress in attire from that era!
World Book Day
We love books, and our friends at UNESCO agree. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proposed World Book Day as a day of celebrating the joy of reading for enjoyment.
One hundred countries observe World Book Day, and why not?
Children who regularly read for enjoyment have higher test scores, develop a broader vocabulary, increased general knowledge and a better understanding of other cultures than their non-reading counterparts. Whether you read traditional paperbound books or turn to your Kindle/iPad/whatever, reading’s a passport to this and many other worlds. Support children with such good habits and make sure they gather the right information from what they read online. Scholaroo will help students navigate through research on scholarships as well as guide them towards further education best suited for them.
So celebrate with us on April 23! Here’s how to harness your inner bookworm — and maybe get a free book.
