Some Danbury High School students seized the opportunity to advocate for the district’s educational funding when they participated in Women’s and Girls’ Day events held at the State Capitol Building on March 6.
Eleven DHS students, chaperoned by Ms. English, were among 120 young women from across the state to attend the Women’s History Month event.
“Danbury was represented well as two of our young women spoke about school funding and how they hope to make it better for Danbury in the future,” said Ann Tucci, head of the DHS Social Studies Department.
The house minority leader addressed the group and women of all backgrounds gave testimonials. Students also had a session on women’s history in the state, and attended a career, health and safety fair.
