Women's History Month Resources - At UUFH, we're raising strong, smart girls together! (Oh don't worry! We're raising smart, strong, gentle boys too...those resources will be in another newsletter!)

Dear UU Family,

Just a quick note to say....you matter here. A lot!

You bring the heart, the energy, and let’s be honest, the joyful chaos that makes this community feel alive. And your kids? Not just welcome…fully cherished, celebrated, and occasionally covered in dirt (in the best way).

Huge thanks to Patty and Meg for giving our budding gardeners the marigold planting supplies. Here, here to future flower power in the making!

And to Morgan and Ryan for conjuring up a truly magical Harry Potter–themed Sunday school (no muggles in sight) - big thanks and lots of love!

Shoutout as well to Wanda, Regina, Keren, and Geri for a coffee hour and Pizza Pie Day that fed both body and soul—seriously, which was higher? the carb count or the laughter?

And drumroll, please…we’re thrilled to welcome Nora to our family ministry staff! We’re so glad she’s here and can’t wait for all that’s ahead.

Thanks for being you and for bringing your whole selves (and your whole family) into this shared space. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

You make UUFH a wonderful place to be!

Love,

Sunday Shae

How Hidden Classroom Dynamics Can Stymie Girls in STEM

"Girls are performing just as well as boys on standardized tests and on international tests of science achievement," said Kathryn Stevenson, a Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management professor at North Carolina State University. "That's not really the issue. What seems to be the issue is a leaky pipeline afterwards."
