Fun Fact about July:Did you know that July was named in honor of Julius Caesar? In 44 B.C., the Roman Senate named the month "Julius" to recognize Caesar's contributions to the Roman Empire, and it was during his reign that the calendar was reformed to create the Julian calendar, which is the precursor to the modern Gregorian calendar we use today.
