March has sprung up into our calendars and it is time for students and educators alike to put a spring into their step as we approach the last few months of the school year.
It has already been a busy month as an hour was lost during the spring forward to daylight savings time.
Across the country students organized a student walkout to show support for those students lost in the Florida tragedy.
Women's History Month serves to remind us of the significant contributions women have made in a variety of professional fields, society and human endeavor.
The festivities of St. Patrick's Day, with its green shamrocks, take place as we partake in the celebrations from the Emerald Isle.
Baseball diamonds, from little league to the pros, roll out their green grass fields as we root for our favorite teams.
Madness takes over as brackets are filled and Cinderella stories develop in college basketball.
All this and more goes on in March as education continues its forward progress towards the end of school, the promotion of students into the next grade level, and the class of 2018 prepares to don their caps and gowns and receive their diplomas, certificates and degrees.
As we welcome Spring, and await the arrival of the last school breather known as Spring Break, we take time to do some last course corrections and fix our headings before unfurling our sails towards the sunset of the 2017-18 school year.
