Citizenship Day
Citizenship Day (also known as Constitution Day) is celebrated to mark the anniversary of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787.
Just passed by Congress in 2004, the act that passed the holiday calls for schools receiving federal funding to provide lessons about the Constitution on this day.
This day also recognizes those who have become U.S. citizens, either by coming of age or by naturalization.
Today is also National Apple Dumpling Day
