Woman's History Month

In March, we held a tea party for women in our community. We all enjoyed tea and yummies with women we admired. The majority of people brought in moms, but there were others there as well, such as aunts, neighbors, teachers, coaches, and friends.
Each student wrote a four-paragraph paper telling the assembly at the tea why the woman they brought was special to them. Most of the speeches brought tears to the guest's eyes, making this occasion quite heart-felt.
The tea was lots of fun, and all the guests thought so too.

Many thanks were given from the women, and all the people who attended left with a smile on their face.


Quotes from students:

"We study Women's History Month to learn about things women did and that women can make a difference. Men and women can do the same things no matter how hard the job. I think things have improved, but they can still get better. Women still don't get paid as much, and don't always get the best jobs. I think we need a woman president to really change things. She would lead the country from a woman's perspective."

"I have learned that women are obtaining more rights, They are getting closer to being treated equally with men. It's not perfect yet, but some day I hope that women will be treated as equals."
-Matt, age 11
