Ms. McGeehan and her students attended an award ceremony at Normandy Farms, celebrating manufacturing in Pennsylvania. They competed against several other middle schools and had the honor of receiving a message from Governor Shapiro. It was truly inspiring to see our students recognized for their hard work and dedication. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without Ms. McGeehan’s initiative and her constant support in encouraging and guiding her students. It was a proud moment for all of us! La Sra. McGeehan y sus alumnos asistieron a una ceremonia de premiación en Normandy Farms, que celebraba la industria manufacturera en Pensilvania. Compitieron contra otras escuelas secundarias y tuvieron el honor de recibir un mensaje del gobernador Shapiro. Fue realmente inspirador ver a nuestros alumnos reconocidos por su arduo trabajo y dedicación. Este logro no habría sido posible sin la iniciativa de la Sra. McGeehan y su constante apoyo para animar y guiar a sus alumnos. ¡Fue un momento de orgullo para todos!

In honor of Women's History Month, Blockson Middle School hosted a Women's Panel Series each week during the month of March. In this panel women from various careers - many of whom came through the Norristown Area School District shared their career journeys that helped to shape them into the women they are today. Our young ladies had the opportunity to hear from business owners, executive directors, lawyers, judges, solicitors, newscasters, police officers, psychologists, nurses, mid-wives, financial adjusters, performers, radio hosts, commissioners, sheriffs, lieutenants, and the list goes on. Students were able to ask questions about their challenges and successes that they experienced in and out of their work spaces. The stories, wisdom, and inspiration that was shared has made a lasting impact on our students. Thank you to all of our panelists listed above, as well as our very own Dr. Hampton who made this event happen! We appreciate you for empowering and pouring into the next generation of leaders! En honor al Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, la Escuela Intermedia Blockson organizó una Serie de Paneles de Mujeres cada semana durante marzo. En este panel, mujeres de diversas profesiones, muchas de las cuales se formaron en el Distrito Escolar del Área de Norristown, compartieron las trayectorias profesionales que las ayudaron a convertirse en las mujeres que son hoy. Nuestras jóvenes tuvieron la oportunidad de escuchar a empresarias, directoras ejecutivas, abogadas, juezas, procuradoras, presentadoras de noticias, policías, psicólogas, enfermeras, parteras, ajustadores financieros, artistas, locutoras de radio, comisionadas, alguaciles, tenientes, y muchos más. Las estudiantes pudieron hacer preguntas sobre los desafíos y éxitos que experimentaron dentro y fuera de sus lugares de trabajo. Las historias, la sabiduría y la inspiración compartidas han tenido un impacto duradero en nuestras estudiantes. ¡Gracias a todas las panelistas mencionadas anteriormente, así como a nuestra Dra. Hampton, quien hizo posible este evento! ¡Les agradecemos por empoderar y contribuir a la próxima generación de líderes!
