We’re Looking for Sheroes!
In an effort to honor our female heroes, our Sheroes,
Region 10 Education Service Center is planning a publication in conjunction with National Women’s History Month, March of 2009.
A Shero is . . .
- A young woman who has achieved success in her life despite obstacles. Those obstacles may have presented themselves in any number of ways, e.g., physical handicap, economic disadvantage, language/culture difference, or learning disability. Sheroes come from all walks of life.
AND
- A young woman who has had an impact upon her chosen field of employment, business, service, and/or her community. A Shero might be a high-profile woman or an every-day woman.
- Some of her success can be attributed to achievements in education. A Shero has reached a level of personal and/or professional success because she was able to walk through doors or create windows of opportunity for herself due in great part to the education under her belt or sash!
This inspiring publication will feature a collection of short stories, wisdom, reflections, and testimony from a diverse group of women who mirror the changing face of our region, our state, and our country. In addition to being featured in our publication, honorees will be recognized at a reception on Saturday, March 28, 2009.
Join us in Celebrating Sheroes!
