Congresswoman Visits Horace Mann to Celebrate Women's History Month

During March, we've been celebrating Women's History Month, learning about contributions made to all facets of our world by women from many different generations.  Posters in our library provide easy-to-access photos and important facts about these women, and have raised our awareness and appreciation.  We even have a special display provided by our Speech Therapist, Ellen McCafferty, with artifacts about her grandmother, a professional basketball player!

Mrs. Sloan's kindergarten class had a special treat on Friday afternoon when Ohio Representative Nicki Antonio read to them during their usual story time.  Our Congresswoman showed off her teaching background--and her love of children--as she gathered them around and read picture books about Nadia Comaneci and other ground-breaking women.  We think Representative Antonio is a pretty special woman in history, too :-)

Many thanks to all who helped organize our Women's History acknowledgements.  I've heard there may be a "local edition" in store for March 2018...
