National Jump Out! Day
- Today you are asked to grab a jump rope and hop to it! March 20th – the first day of spring – is the day for girls and boys to jump-start their way into a more active lifestyle by gathering friends and family and seeing how many times in a row each person can jump without stopping. Any kind of jump will do, from a simple hop to a Double Dutch or Criss-Cross step. Or, they can jump into another activity which pumps up the heart, like biking, skating, or playing tag – the idea is to get off the couch and on the road to good health.
Won't You Be My Neighbor Day
- In honor of Fred Rogers' birthday, March 20th has been declared
Won't You Be My Neighbor?Day throughout all kingdoms, real or make-believe. The point of the holiday is to carry on Mister Rogers' spirit of being neighborly: be connected, strengthen your community ties, reach out to people you've never talked to before.
National Atheist Pride Day
- On this day, atheists seek to let the world know that we exist. Because we are often demonized and marginalized, in much the same way as sexual minorities, simply asserting our identities as nonbelievers can do much to overturn stereotypes and help others who privately doubt religion. While the aim is visibility, the number of participants is less critical than is the ability to get people to publicly admit their lack of faith.
Snowman Burning Day
- A festival to mark the end of winter and welcome spring. It's a way to celebrate the change of the seasons. By March 20th, most of us are more than ready to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring. We say goodbye to the last icy snowman by helping it melt as we set it afire and watch it burn.
