On this week’s Who Knew Wednesday we talked about National Nurses Day and National No Diet Day. Plus we did our Who Am I trivia and gave away tickets for MTVarts To Kill a Mockingbird! Here’s what we talked about:

WHO KNEW FACT CHECK– National Nurses Day is the first day of National Nursing Week, which concludes on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. 

National Nurses Day– In the U.S., nurses outnumber doctors roughly three-to-one

 

National No Diet Day. Mary Evans Young created the day after struggling with her own body image and witnessing others experience similar issues. She is also the director of the British anti-diet group, “Diet Breakers”. 

Who Knew Fact Check: National no diet day isn’t picked on a random day. It’s on the founder’s birthday.

  

MTVarts are presenting To Kill A Mockingbird Friday May 8th 7:30pm – 9:30pm at the Woodward Opera House, 107 S Main St, Mt Vernon, OH 43050. It is a school performance, but it does contain language, violence, and racism. It is important and relevant, but it can be emotionally intense and may not be suitable for younger viewers. Tune in during The Morning Thing and Afternoon Drive to win tickets! Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to win tickets!! Congratulations to Ben of Mount Vernon for taking home a pair of tickets!
