Month celebrates women's history, suffrage

Women's history is filled with stories of struggle and determination, and one of the most significant struggles women faced was the fight for voting rights. For centuries, women were denied the right to vote, and it was not until the early 20th century that significant progress was made in this area. In the United States, the suffrage movement began in earnest in the mid-19th century. Women's rights activists like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the charge, organizing protests and rallies to draw attention to the issue of voting rights for women. Despite their efforts, however, progress was slow. It was not until the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1920 that women finally gained the right to vote.

Boundary County Middle School: Taking a small break from it all!

We are already one month into the second semester! Things will start to slow down a bit from here as we hit the long stretch prior to spring break. Seems weird to be speaking about spring with the recent winter arrival (finally) but that is the next major step in our year. Third quarter will end the last day before spring break and before you know it we will be finalizing the year.
