On Friday, October 11, St. Catherine’s School celebrated International Day of the Girl, as declared by the United Nations. The school created a special video, “What it means to be an educated girl,” to raise awareness within our school community and beyond. A variety of events took place on campus including more than 1,100 students, faculty and staff joined together on the Green to form the symbol of the female gender. Everyone wore light blue to symbolize that the sky is the limit for girls’ education. This is the culmination of 10 days of curriculum, speakers, movies and books focused on the importance of educating girls.
