Women’s History Month - Special Announcements:

Armed with the power of her voice, her heritage, and her words, Amanda Gorman is a poet and activist who focuses on oppression, feminism, and race. She was invited to recite her poem "The Hill We Climb" at the President's inauguration, taking a place among other revolutionaries such as Maya Angelou, and is the first person to be honored National Youth Poet Laureate. Amanda Gorman serves as an inspiration because she is unafraid to speak up and speak out, she is confident and proud, and she is an awe-inspiring poet. One line that inspires me the most is "If I choose not to speak out of fear, then there is no one my silence is standing for." --Aliyyah Hamid 

My name is Rose Cohen and in honor of Women's History Month, Hailey Mair and I are inspired by Helen Keller. Helen Keller was an author, disability advocate, and activist, while being blind and deaf. She inspired millions and devoted her life to helping others. Hailey is inspired by her determination and ability to overcome obstacles. She believes “Helen Keller is an inspiration for all people because anything is possible with determination, hope, and hard work.” Helen Keller motivates me to always say “I can.” Ever since I was 7, I always try to do my best to persevere through difficult times. My motto is “If Helen Keller could have done it, so can I.” --Rose Cohen 

Be sure to get your free lunch and  breakfast ....today for lunch we have:

Ivy Wang will read:

One woman who inspired me is Susan B. Anthony. She was a woman's rights activist who fought for the right to vote. She believed that men and women are equal and should be viewed the same. I was inspired by her energy and her will to make all people equal. Her energy and her hard work are the reason why women are allowed to vote today. If we all had her energy to achieve what we wanted in life, we would all be making a difference in the world.

The women in history who inspired me were the women of Bletchley Park. During World War II there was a secret code-breaking operation stationed at Bletchley Park in the UK. This operation aimed to break the coded messages being passed by the Axis Powers, and what was really incredible about this operation is that of the thousands of people working there, the majority of them were women. One of the women employed at Bletchley was Joan Clarke, whose contributions were essential to cracking the Axis code. If this code was never broken, it's likely that WWII would've dragged on, with many more lives being lost, and even the possibility of an Allies defeat. This is really inspiring because it shows how much of an impact women have had on the field of STEM, being some of the first women introduced into this field, paving the way for many other inspiring women to come.

As a part of women’s history month we are going to talk about Michelle Obama. It’s amazing how she was able to balance parenting two young kids, adjusting to a new lifestyle, receiving hate just for the color of her skin and completing projects for our country. One of her great achievements was integrating healthier food in schools and planting a garden at the White House to try and cut childhood obesity rates. She inspires me by breaking barriers and persevering no matter what happens. She is gracious, kind, powerful, warm-hearted and caring for every single American and she continues to show that every day.
