WOMEN TODAY AND YESTERDAY
The Mission
Mrs. Neely, our principal is quite busy these days. She attends lots of meetings, work with students, parents and business partners. She really wants our school to be successful.
Running a school is not an easy task. There is a lot to do but never enough hours in the day. Mrs. Neely has asked our class to assist her for the month of March as we celebrate Women’s History Month.
Your task is to research information about African American Women and give a presentation over the intercom system. This information will inform students and staff of the many contributions African American Women have made in order to shape our country.
