Twice a year we adjust the clocks so the sun will last longer at night. Find out more about Daylight Saving Time right here!
Daylight Saving Time is a time cycle that starts in the early spring when you set your clocks ahead one hour. Because the sun rises so early in the spring and summer months, setting your clocks ahead by an hour gives you more daylight in the evening. In the fall, the exact opposite happens - we set our clocks back an hour (to Standard Time) to gain an extra hour of sunlight in the morning, so we're not heading off to school or work in the dark!

How it Started 4u5i34
It wasn't until Hawaii, most of Indiana and Arizona, who do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Spring Forward, Fall Back
What’s the Point? 5f4q3h
Daylight Saving Time is proven to save on energy because people aren't turning on their lamps, heat, etc. as early as they would have, had their clocks not been turned back. But, best of all, it means you can spend more time outdoors after school, since the sun will stay out longer than it would if we didn’t adjust the clocks!

Each year we set the clocks an hour forward in the spring, and an hour backward in the fall (the nifty phrase “spring forward, fall back” might help you !).
In 2023, we set the clocks to "spring forward" on March 12th, and "fall back" on November 5th.
