With all the negativity that surrounds us on a daily basis, how wonderful would it be to have a day to celebrate happiness? 

The goal of the day would simply be to spread positivity and help people understand how big of a difference it can truly make!

Back in 2012, the United Nations proclaimed March 20th as the International Day of Happiness.  Many organizations are now using this day to focus on being happy.  

On this day,  we in Rich Township will show and appreciate happiness all over the world, and showing people that being kind can not only make someone else happy, but can also make you happy.  Raptors from both STEM and FAC will focus on wellbeing, laughter, positivity, inclusivity, diversity and equality.

This day is a simply trying to express society is not only about economic growth, but more on wellbeing and happiness.  We can create a happier and kinder world by together focusing on that which makes us happy. 

So be sure to surround yourself with positivity. It’s difficult to maintain a happy mood if you’re surrounded by negativity.

Here is what we can all do on March 20th 

• Create a joy list.
• Spend time outdoors.
• Do something kind for someone else.
• Focus on gratitude.
