Good morning, Falcons! Happy birthday to the amazing Mr. Gregerson! Hope you have a fabulous day!
Today’s Women’s History Month fact comes from last night’s Academy Awards. Sixty years ago, Rita Moreno became the first Latina to win an Oscar, given for the role of Anita in West Side Story. Last night, Ariana DeBose won best supporting actress for the same role, becoming part of an elite club of Oscar-winners who've received the accolade for playing the same character. They're the first pair of women ever to accomplish this. DeBose, who is Black, Latina and white, is now the first openly queer woman of color to win for her acting, and the only to be nominated. "Even in this weary world that we live in, dreams do come true," she said in her acceptance speech. "To anybody who has ever questioned your identity....I promise you this, there is indeed a place for us."
If you have a story about an inspiring woman you’d like to feature, please contact Mrs. Heiss! Thank you to the people who have already sent in ideas! Keep them coming!
