Women's "Her"story Award Nominations Close March 17 |
|
Women's History Month was created to celebrate the many achievements that women have made in the face of inequities. For our students, knowing women's history and their achievements expands their sense of what is possible. For all of us, knowledge of women's history builds respect and honor. As a district, we will be honoring one woman nominated from each school or department that is creating "HER"story within the team or department. Nominees will be honored on Friday, March 24 at an awards ceremony at GALS Denver. To nominate a woman, fill out this form by Friday, March 17. More information on how we are celebrating Women's History Month can be found here. If you have any questions, contact Lilly Brown.
