It Happen in Springfield
.In 1985, the beginning of January began with unseasonably warm weather. Kids in Springfield were eager to be out sledding and having fun in the snow. They finally got their wish when snow fell in the middle of the month. During recess, Springfield Elementary students used the slopes behind the school to slide down the snowy hill.

Fit Tip of the Week: Start Small, Keep Progressing
The Most Powerful Force in Life: Consistency
Getting fit doesn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of consistent good choices. Every workout, every healthy meal, and every small step adds up.
Consistency can work both ways: good habits lead to progress, while bad habits hold us back. Choose wisely, stay steady, and let consistency be your greatest strength.
