IWD: Sr. Lory's Closing Remarks and Reception





















Sr. Lory Schaff, CSJ gave her closing remarks about IWD and discussed the life of one of her favorite women in history -- Mary, the Blessed Mother.
After this, we had a reception with various foods, cakes, and fruit juices. It was a wonderful day for learning and recognizing the importance of women's accomplishments to our world and also recognizing that much work still needs to be done worldwide for equal rights for women.

Thank you for championing the positive roles women have played throughout history in diverse cultures. I am especially impressed by your selection of topics, focusing on both individuals and social movements. As a woman, I felt great pride when reading about your work. You've encouraged me to learn more.

Thank you for your comments! And thanks for visiting our blog. We will soon be posting the actual written speeches the students made for the Women's Day event, plus we will have photos of the educational posters they made for the speeches. So, be sure to come back soon to our blog. These will probably get posted one-by-one over the next two weeks...
