Irish American Heritage Month is timed during the month of March when St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday traditionally celebrated by many Irish Americans, also takes place. The first Irish American Heritage Month happened in 1991 and continued to be established through Congressional laws and presidential proclamations. US presidents have since issued annual presidential proclamations for Irish American Heritage Month since 1997 making it an established tradition.

Women’s History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to U.S. history. From Abigail Adams to Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth to Rosa Parks, the timeline of women’s history milestones stretches back to the founding of the United States.

The actual celebration of Women’s History Month grew out of a weeklong celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa.

A few years later, the idea caught on within communities, school districts and organizations across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. The U.S. Congress followed suit the next year, passing a resolution establishing a national celebration. Six years later, the National Women’s History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the event to the entire month of March.

The Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU) is hosting a county-wide career fair aimed at creating a diverse environment with qualified individuals who are responsive to the individual educational needs of Delaware County’s students. The career fair offers a great opportunity for current and future educators to meet today’s decision-makers in the 15 public school districts and DCIU.

Coping with an eating disorder can be a challenging journey, but remember, you're not alone. Eating disorders are challenging, but with the right knowledge and support, recovery is possible. Encouraging healthy attitudes towards food and body image is a crucial step in both prevention and support.

#DelcoInterconnectedMTSSFramework #MentalHeathMatters #EatingDisorderAwareness #StayStrong

In our schools, mental health is just as crucial as academic success, and school counselors are at the forefront of addressing this. They provide a safe space for students to express their concerns, helping them tackle challenges ranging from academic pressures to personal issues. Counselors are trained to identify signs of distress, provide emotional support, and refer students to additional resources when needed. Their presence in schools contributes to a healthier, more supportive learning environment. Thank a school counselor today.
