March is Women's History Month
🤖 Robot Rumble! 🤖
On Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2, Engineering Club competed in the Robot Rumble at Wheeling High School. Three of Leyden's bots fought in at least three matches and ended up with a 6-6 record. East and West Leyden students prepared for weeks for the competition and had a really great showing. Congratulations!
🌎 Model UN Conference! 🌍
Also on Saturday, March 2, Leyden's Model UN competed at Lyons Township High School. The hands-on training conference helped all delegates further their interests in global relations and politics, and build on their abilities of cooperation, diplomacy, and communication skills. It was an amazing opportunity to scout out the competition before the next conference on April 27.
National World Language Week: March 3-9
National Foreign Language Week was inaugurated in the Spring of 1957. President Dwight D. Eisenhower endorsed the celebration, and each succeeding president has added his support.
