The first day of Spring was Wednesday, March 20 and with spring being here now it brings a lot of great things along with it. The leaves on the trees will start to grow back and more flowers will bloom. There will also be a lot of rain, as it usually falls more in the spring.

Everyone can finally put away their winter coats because it is going to start getting warmer and there will also be more hours of sunlight.

Spring is a great time to get out of the house and do something fun. From exercising to having a picnic at the park, spring brings numerous activities for people to participate in.

An article from The Telegraph said, “The rising temperature means we’re more likely to be active, and as a result we release endorphin, the hormone that minimizes pain and boosts mood."

Now that there is more daylight, it is proven to be making people happier. The article stated, “When it’s dark outside, our melatonin levels rise and cause us to feel sleepy. That means we have to work harder to stay alert during the long periods of darkness each day.”

Spring brings great temperature because many people think that winter is too cold and summer is too hot.

Senior Kaleb Calkins said, “While winter is a great season because I play hockey, I think spring is my favorite overall because it finally starts to get warm, but it's not hot and humid like summer.”

Enjoy the nice weather and stay safe!
