For Women’s History Month, Miss Simpson’s 5th-grade class at Harrison Park Elementary School spent a week in March learning about women in history who have made an impact in our country and around the world.
Students were then asked to write about a woman who they admire or who inspires them. Some of the students selected famous historical figures or athletes, while others selected a family member who they look up to.
