To honor and celebrate Women’s History Month, which occurs each March, the Women’s Awareness Club organized activities and would like to share the engagement with our greater community.
Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen a rise in hate crimes against the Asian American / Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Just last week, a hate crime targeting Asian Americans occurred in Atlanta, Georgia. Let’s reflect on ways that we can support our community members and respond to racism and hatred in our country and community. As Mr. Zemsky said in a recent newsletter, "As a school, this is a moment for us to demonstrate that we stand in solidarity with the Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander members of our community."
One of the best ways to celebrate Black History Month is by elevating Black figures whose accomplishments haven’t been popularized to the same extent as those of their white counterparts. While I can’t force others to seek out the people that history has forgotten, I can make something large and colorful that will catch their eye, encouraging them to take a second and acquire new information for themselves. And that is exactly what I did.
