In celebration of Women’s History Month, our school was honored to welcome Dr. Roundfield, a clinical psychologist and Assumption parent, as a guest speaker on the morning of March 31. She spoke with our Kindergarten through 4th grade students, as well as our 5th through 8th grade students, sharing insights into her field and emphasizing the importance of problem solving and thoughtful, reflective thinking—skills that help all of us grow as learners and individuals.
Women’s History Month reminds us of the countless contributions women have made—and continue to make—in shaping our world. Dr. Roundfield’s message inspired our students to see the value of perseverance, critical thinking, and using their gifts to make a difference.
This meaningful experience was made possible by our School Board’s JEDI Committee, whose ongoing work brings diverse voices and perspectives to our students. Throughout the year, their efforts have included collaboration with Campus Ministry on Assumption Life articles, a vibrant Lunar New Year lion dance celebration in February, and a partnership with our librarian, Katherine Rubio, to highlight African American authors and themes during Black History Month. Earlier this year, during Hispanic Heritage Month, the committee also sponsored Ballet Folklórico Mexicano de Carlos Moreno, enriching our community through the beauty of cultural dance.
We are grateful for these opportunities that help our students grow as socially responsible citizens and effective communicators, while deepening their understanding and appreciation of the diverse world around them.
