Women’s History Month Begins March 1
Women’s History Month, celebrated each March, commemorates and encourages the “study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American Society.” Sponsored by the National Women’s History Alliance, the theme for 2024 celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion” and recognizes the importance of women who work to create a positive change in society and advocate for the elimination of bias and discrimination. To learn more about Women’s History Month, visit the National Women’s History Alliance website.
Be on the lookout – we have a lot of exciting events and activities to commemorate this month!

Even the most dedicated are going to encounter setbacks and time constraints that can dissuade them from exercising. Life is unpredictable. Work, kids’ schedules, appointments, social events, sickness, tiredness or just
plain not feeling like it—all can close in on the amount of time dedicated to a workout routine. The important thing is to find a way to incorporate some exercise into the day, no matter how crazy your schedule becomes. Here are
some suggestions:
– Wake up early and spend an extra 15-30 minutes walking/exercising before school or work
– Take a 15-minute break from school or work and walk around your building or neighborhood
– Take the stairs instead of the elevator every chance you get. For an even greater workout, take the stairs two at a time
– Work out while watching your favorite TV show
