National Boss Day at Santaquin

Patricia Haroski, a secretary from Illinois, originated National Boss Day in 1958 in honor of her father who helped all of his children with good advice throughout their careers.  In honor of his birthday, October 16th, Patricia registered the day with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  Four years later, National Boss Day was officially announced.  The idea quickly gained favor across the country and is now even observed in England, Australia and South Africa.  Today at Santaquin Elementary we honored our very own Mr. Argyle, celebrating with balloons, cards, cookies and a few extra smiles!
