Garrison Forest School issued the following announcement on Oct. 11.
In Honor of #internationaldayofthegirl, yesterday our Upper Schoolers discussed issues that impact women in the United States and around the world like period poverty, lack of access to education, child marriage and more. Afterward, the students identified some women who they consider to be their heroes while recognizing superhero qualities that they themselves possess.
The activity was put together by Garrison Forest's GirlUp club, a chapter of the United Nations' sponsored international organization dedicated to supporting adolescent girls’ education, health, and safety globally.
