What is Math Awareness Month? Each year in April, we celebrate Mathematics Awareness Month to increase appreciation for mathematics, help people better understand what math is, and inspire people to study and apply math in their lives. At its inception in 1986, President Ronald Reagan said: “The application of mathematics is indispensable in such diverse fields as medicine, computer sciences, space exploration, the skilled trades, business, defense, and government. To help encourage the study and utilization of mathematics, it is appropriate that all Americans be reminded of the importance of this basic branch of science to our daily lives.

Good morning, Cubs! Welcome back to school today! We hope you all had a fun and relaxing spring break! Yesterday marked the official first day of spring with occurrence of the March equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox (aka spring equinox or vernal equinox) occurs when the Sun crosses the equator line, heading north. This event marks the start of the spring season in the northern half of the globe. After this date, the Northern Hemisphere begins to be tilted more toward the Sun, resulting in increasing daylight hours and warming temperatures. (In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s the opposite: the March equinox marks the start of autumn, as the Southern Hemisphere begins to be tilted away from the Sun.) So, now you know! The important thing is to get out there and enjoy this spring weather! However, in your coming and going, remember to be true to our Cubs-inn-Action Motto. Be kind, be respectful, and be responsible in your interactions with others Happy Spring, Cubs!
