Congratulations to our 7th gr Lady Foxes Track team for taking 2nd at the District meet in Kaufman this Tuesday.
Jane Goodall (1934-Present)
Goodall began studying chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park of Tanzania in 1960, and her extensive research (which has spanned almost 60 years) has provided some of the most groundbreaking insight into the minds and social lives of our closest relative, chimpanzees. The primatologist and anthropologist went on to found the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 as well as the Roots and Shoots program in 1991 as an effort to encourage wildlife conservation efforts. #WomensHistoryMonth

Gloria Steinem (1934-Present)
Gloria Steinem may be one of the world's most outspoken activists in the women's liberation movement. Over the years, she's led marches, spoke at rallies, wrote several books, and helped to form both New York and Ms. magazines. Today, she's still a fierce defender of social justice and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her efforts in 2013. #WomensHistoryMonth

Junko Tabei (1939-2016)

Dolly Parton (1946-Present) You may know Dolly Parton as the glamorous, quick-witted country singer, but she's also a huge philanthropist. In 1955, she created the Imagination Library, a program that gifts free books to kids under 5 to foster a love of reading at a young age. #WomensHistoryMonth
Congratulations to our 7th grade Girls Lady Foxes track stars in winning the overall Sunnyvale Raiders Relay on Tuesday March 21, 2024.

Dr. Kizzmekia S. Corbett (1986-Present)
Dr. Corbett is a research fellow and lead at the Coronavirus Vaccines & Immunopathogenesis Team at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She also just so happened to lead the team that successfully developed the Moderna vaccine. On December 18, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the shot, which has an astounding 94-95% efficacy against clinical disease and a nearly 100% efficacy against serious disease–so please remember to thank her after you get your jab! #WomensHistoryMonth
