🍦 It’s National Ice Cream Cone Day!
🍂 AND it’s the First Day of Fall!
So apparently today’s dress code is hoodies, crunchy leaves, and an ice cream cone. 😂
Fall has officially arrived, which means cooler weather, changing leaves, football, pumpkin spice everything... and people arguing over whether it’s too early to turn the heat on. 🍁😂

🧠 FUN FACT OF THE DAY!
🍂 Did you know?
The word “autumn” comes from Latin, while the word “fall” became popular because it described the season when leaves “fall” from the trees.
So technically, whoever named it “fall” basically looked outside and said:
“Yep. Leaves are falling. Let’s call it that.” 😂🍁
😂 JOKE OF THE DAY!
What do you give a sick bird,,,,, a tweetment!

Have a Great day and GOOOOOOOO Spartans.
