Our
moral focus virtue for March is encouragement.
It’s also Women’s History month. How can you connect both? It’s important to
expose your students to women who have encouraged
positive change in our history. Please read this brief article by Time Magazine
for a better understanding and appreciation. http://time.com/4238999/womens-history-month-history/
In honor of Women’s History Month, I
would like to recognize Rachel Louise Carson, an American
marine biologist, author, and conservationist who is credited with advancing
the global environmental movement. Carson warned
of the perils of pesticide use, sparked a grassroots green movement and encouraged others to join her in the
overhauling of our national policy on pesticides. Her work has saved countless
lives — furred, feathered, finned, and human.
