Addison Trail hosts spirit week to celebrate Women’s History Month

From March 24 to 28, Addison Trail hosted a spirit week to celebrate and recognize Women’s History Month.

For 2025, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) implemented the theme of “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”

Each day of Addison Trail’s spirit week featured a unique theme with a corresponding color to represent various topics aligned with Women’s History Month (see the flyer above for details). Pictured above, staff members wear yellow to honor women’s “creativity.”

Teachers also were able to incorporate mini lessons related to Women’s History Month, which were created by Addison Trail seniors Daniela Salinas, Sakeena Quadri, Cinthya Robles, Andrea Martinez-Gorostieta, Finn Bekielewski, Maria Hernandez and Mariza Perez Gomez (pictured above, from left to right). These students also wrote segments that were shared during the morning announcements throughout the week.

Students and staff also had the opportunity to watch films that showcase two impactful women – “I am Greta” and “Till.”

According to www.womenshistorymonth.gov/index.html, “Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as ‘Women’s History Month.’ These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.”
