Thoughts on mothers and Father's Day being celebrated in elementary classrooms?

I work at a school that boards students (boys and girls are both boarded until the age of 9, and after the age of 9 the boys get sent to a boy school and it becomes an all-girls school). Some students were sent there for a better education, some were sent there because their parents are military and travel a lot, but there are also cases where some were sent based on circumstances at home. You have kids who were sent there after a nasty divorce, who were being raised by single parent who couldn't handle them alone. You have some who were sent by rich fathers who they hardly know because the fathers are always traveling for work. Some were even sent to us as an alternative to foster care, because we're considered an inclusive programs school (though there are religious affiliations to the school, so generally that's only religious -based Foster programs that are sending kids our way).

My point is more so that inclusivity is very important, because you never know what someone has going on at home. If a kid has already felt ignored or neglected by a parent, rubbing the fact that they don't have that relationship with the parent isn't going to help anybody. So make it permittable for that kid to be able to create a mother or Father's Day gift for any man or woman in their life that they feel helps them. Maybe that's a mother, grandmother, or aunt. Maybe it's a lunch monitor, or a teacher. Don't put a limit on who it could be for. Turn mother's day into a celebration of women in their lives and turn fathers Day into a celebration of men in their lives.
