Attention students who have had four or more years of Spanish: If you are a senior and have successfully completed four or more years of Spanish, you are eligible to receive a cord to wear at graduation. Please see the list outside of room 104, Mrs. Rosado’s room, to make sure that your name is on the list. If your name is not on the list you will not receive a cord. It is very important that you check the list. Any corrections must be made by Wednesday, March 22. Again, if your name is not on the list you will not receive a cord. Thank you.
All book club members, just a reminder that there is a book club meeting after school in Mrs. Nisbett's room (311). Snacks will be provided, and we will be discussing the second half of the novel If I Stay by Gayle Forman. Hope to see you there!
Happy Women’s History Month from Girl Up! In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman to fly in space. Her job was to work the robotic arm that helped put satellites into space. Dr. Ride broke barriers throughout her career and worked to ensure that other girls and women were encouraged to do the same. She co-founded Sally Ride Science in 2001 to inspire young people in STEM and to promote STEM literacy. Eleanor Roosevelt was the longest-serving First Lady during her husband’s four terms from 1933-1945. She became an advocate of the rights and needs of the poor, minorities, and the disadvantaged. She served as the first Chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights and played a huge role in drafting the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. She quickly became a champion of human rights following her time as First Lady.
