SUA Celebrates International Women's Day 2024. 

The theme this year is Inspire Inclusion! Women's equality has made positive gains but the world is still unequal. International Women's Day celebrates the social, political and economic achievements of women while focusing world attention on areas requiring further action.

A little history about International Women’s Day: 

• Each year around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8.
• The first International Women's Day was held in 1911.
• The United Nations officially adopted International Women’s Day in 1975.
• This celebration got women the vote in Russia.
• It is an official holiday in 27 countries. 

ON MARCH 6, SUA will celebrate this special day with cultural dance, art, and music as well as a potluck luncheon for students and staff.  Students will break into small groups to participate in fine arts sessions and celebrate inclusion and progress!

Please consider sending in a dish that your family eats that represents a part of your heritage or your family traditions. If your student participates by bringing in a dish, she will be permitted to participate in the lunch and sample food from other students and adults from our community. Sign up HERE to bring a dish.

We celebrate those women who went before us and made sacrifices so that we as women have the right to vote, and the ability to continue our education and choose our profession based on interest and skill not just on gender. In addition, we will discuss the importance of thinking of those women in countries that do not share the same freedoms and opportunities as we do.  More about the history of International Women’s Day at: https://www.internationalwomensday.com/
