Women’s History – High School Student Presentations
TBD, 6:30 pm (Board Meeting 5:30 pm)
Women’s History Month Project
For our twelfth year, our branch is sponsoring a Women’s History Project contest, with the cooperation of Dennis Schwab, Honors American History teacher. Among the topics Dennis gave his students were:
- Changes due to Title IX
- Women in the military
- First women to be elected to office in Minnesota and especially Mower County
- Sexual harassment
- Comparing opportunities for women 40 years ago and now
Four branch members will be helping with the judging on February 26: Sue Grove, Marijo Alexander, Peggy Benzkofer, and Katie Ulwelling. Thanks go to these four for being willing to give their time to this project.
This year’s all school Women’s History Month Assembly will be held on March 22 at 9 AM in Knowlton auditorium. The speaker will be Dylane Wallat (Our branch member, Katie Ulwelling’s daughter) who is a deputy sheriff with the St. Paul Ramsey Sheriff’s Department. Many of you will remember Dylane’s outstanding presentation to our branch two years ago.
We think she will connect well with the high school audience as well. The cash awards to the project contest winners will be made at this assembly. You are welcome to attend the assembly. Seating for us is always in the center front. The contest winners will present their projects at our program for the April 10th meeting.
