A1- I lived through this mess that former skank Mayor Rahm Emmanuel created. I was ridiculed for having three masters degrees and labeled, “too expensive for the school budget.” I later survived by taking an administration position for libraries in downstate Illinois. ➡️

My birthday & the last activity for Women’s History Month fell on the same day. Students participated in a scavenger hunt in my library lobby. I used Women’s History Month posters I found on Amazon. Once the students answered all questions, they received a celebratory cupcake.

Can you help by donating? 🧵Our Makerspace Club would like to make Feminine Pouches for their peers. The pouch will hold pads, tampons & wipes, organized & easy to find quickly. 💞Young women will feel more confident at school/outside the home when they know they have supplies ready.
