Today is Women's Equality Day!

On August 26, we recognize the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave many women in the United States the right to vote. This day reminds us of the importance of fairness, equal opportunities, and the ongoing work to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard.

In schools and beyond, we celebrate the contributions of women in history, education, science, leadership, and every part of life.

Let’s continue to learn, grow, and stand up for equality together.
