Women's History Month
On March 1st, we begin the month-long celebration of Women's History Month!
- "I raise up my voice — not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard ... We cannot succeed when half us us are held back." — Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
In March, there are many different religious holidays and festivals. Christians celebrate Easter, Jews celebrate Purim, Hindus celebrate Holi, and Muslims observe Ramadan. San Diego Unified welcomes all religions and non-theists alike.
On March 10th through April 9th marks the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. Some students may be fasting from sunrise to sunset, including water. Here is a short video to learn more.
Seth's Law not only protects our LGBTQIA+ students from being bullied but also protects students who are being bullied because of their religion, disability, gender, gender identity, nationality, race, and ethnicity. This law also mandates that school staff intervene(until the bullying has stopped) when they become aware of instances of bullying. Here is the Lewis form you can use to report bullying
March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month(DDAM), a time to educate the public about developmental disabilities and highlight the importance of including people with disabilities in all areas of society.
Here is a video to help educate students on this topic!
