APRIL 3, 2020
Today is:
Find a Rainbow Day — Get outside and take a peek, maybe find some gold (or just make your own rainbows)!
National Kids Yoga Day — Help relieve some stress with the little ones.
National Walk to Work Day — Most of us don’t have far to go, but we can always take a few laps around the “office”.
World Party Day — A global celebration for a happier world. Participate at a safe distance, though!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
