ADDISON MYERS - International Women’s Day
HONOURING WOMEN
happens every year, on the 8th of March. It is a
day to appreciate the women in your life, a day
of gratitude and recognition. Over the course of
history, women have overcome and faced so
many challenges, and March 8th is a day to
acknowledge that.
At Henry Munro, classes EF8B and EF8A have
done micography projects dedicated to the
greatness of International Women’s Day. All
around the world, this time is celebrated, but
any day is a great time to show the women in
your life how much you care for them.
