What day is it?

It's February 29th. A day in February that you only see once every 4 years. You probably already knew that.

Did you know that in the Gregorian calendar (the calendar used by most modern countries) there is a formula for determing in what year we'll add the 29th day?

Every year that is divisible evenly by four is a leap year EXCEPT if it can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year UNLESS the year is divisible by 400, then it IS a leap year.

Got that? Yeah, I know it kind of makes your head spin around, doesn't it?

Did you know there are 5 (FIVE!) Fridays this month? That should give you all something to be excited about because you know what comes after Friday: THE WEEKEND!
