Women’s Equality Day 2018
26 Sunday Aug 2018
Posted in Uncategorized
On this day in 1920, women obtained the right to vote with the passing of the 19th Amendment (although in some Southern states there was widespread voter suppression against Black women, men, and even poor whites until the passing of the Civil Rights Act in 1964). While we have come far it’s obvious from recent events that true equality is still not quite within reach for many women. That’s why it’s important to acknowledge this day, for more work needs to be done.
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
~ Audre Lorde, American writer, feminist, librarian, and civil rights activist ~

US Teacher Appreciation Week!
07 Monday May 2018
Posted in Uncategorized
I was blessed to have several incredible teachers during my childhood, but it was only as an adult that I realized how underappreciated they are. In honor of these tireless workers who take joy in passing their knowledge onto young inquisitive minds I’m sharing the following quotes. And for those of you who are teachers I’d like to say thank you.
Thank you for working long hours.
Thank you for working for not enough pay.
Thank you for buying supplies for your classrooms and students out of your own paycheck.
Thank you for not giving up despite increasing demands from parents and society.
Thank you for inspiring us to be the very best we can be!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
