The first quarter of 2021 is in the books! Today is April Fool’s Day, something that has been celebrated for hundreds of years. No mean tricks, please. They’re really not funny. Also, today is National Burrito Day. Not kidding. Check out this list of places you can get some sweet burrito deals.
April is a month of many things. It’s National Child Abuse Awareness Month, National Autism Awareness Month, National Volunteer Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Stress Awareness Month, among other important topics.
