  • American Heritage Day
    American Heritage Day DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much.

  • Dr. Mary Walker: Fighting for Work, Fighting for Women
    CN 1 Dr. Mary Walker: Fighting for Work, Fighting for Women The date was February 14th, 1912 and Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, now seventy-nine years old, could be seen stepping out of the White House, having just testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the matter of women’s suffrage. A tall black top-hat adorned thinning hair; she wore a medium-length black coat, accentuated by the presence of crisp, white gloves, and a tight wingtip collar around her neck. Most striking, of course, was the star emblem glinting on her chest. Dr. Walker was the image of austerity and respect, though, in fact, a radical of her time. She was a former Civil War surgeon, a momentary prisoner, and a women’s rights activist whose commitment to her work and patriotism to her country awarded her the title of America’s first and only female Medal of Honor recipient. The breakout of the Civil War in 1861 proved to be Dr. Walker’s jumping-off point. Just as the unexpected onslaught of injured soldiers necessitated the Washington, D.C. Patent Office be hastily converted into a make-shift hospital, so too did it allow for Dr. Mary Walker to serve there as a volunteer assistant physician for the Union Army without much scrutiny. In a letter home to her family, Dr. Walker describes her experience working at the hospital: “I suppose you all expected me to go to war and I thought it would be too cruel to dissapoint [sic] you...Every soul in the hospital has to abide by my orders as much as though Dr.

  • Student Voices Matter
    Student Voices Matter Following a robust community engagement and consultation process, ACPS moved into phase two of The Identity Project as we consider new names for both T.C. Williams High School and ​ ​ Matthew Maury Elementary School. The second phase of The Identity Project — the selection of new names — ensures that students, staff, alumni, families and the community are all heard. Most importantly, we want to keep the next generation and our students' voices at the heart of this process. To assist the community with suggested names for both schools, we invited all ACPS students to participate in an essay/poster campaign to submit names for community consideration. Following this process, the community is invited to choose one of the student selections or to submit a new nomination. The first community polls for T.C. Williams High ​ School and Matthew Maury Elementary School will be open from Jan. 13 through Jan. 27 at ​ ​ ​ 11:59 p.m. We are thrilled to have 119 student entries representing 50 different name suggestions for T.C. Williams High School and 29 different name suggestions for Matthew Maury Elementary School. Note: Please know that student entries that suggested keeping the same names of the two ​ schools were not added to this document due to the fact that the Alexandria City School Board has already voted to change the names. At this point in time, only names different from the existing names are being considered. Additionally, name submissions that did not follow the posted criteria, did not add an essay or poster, or did not have a completed entry were not added to this document.

  • Bloomer Doctor (Or Doctress) Walker, Who Took a Position Near the Prisoners’ Dock
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM By Elizabeth Steger Trindal in her youth she would have been characterized as a spirited, pretty little thing. But in time I ibraryofCongress L resolution firmed her mouth and her once soft, brown, eyes became dagger sharp. She spent most of her life defying custom. The laughter and scorn of others only made her more defiant. She was well ahead of her time. Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was awarded the highest military tribute that America confers. Not one woman since has received the Congressional Medal of Honor. On January 24, 1866, Dr. Walker received the award from President Andrew Johnson for her meritorious work as a surgeon during the Civil War. But, on February 15, 1919, shortly before her death, Congress revoked the honor. According to the Board of Military Medal Awards, “the occasion for its giving was not of record in the War Department Archives.” Still rebellious, even at the age of 86, the sprightly lady refused to return the medal. She wore it until she died. Nearly sixty years later, Anne Walker, Dr. Walker’s great grand niece, mounted a campaign to have the medal posthumously restored to her aunt on the grounds of sex discrimination. The campaign met with success. On July 10, 1977, the Army Board of Corrections of Military Records ruled that the decision to revoke the medal had been “unjust”. Had it not been for Dr. Walker’s gender, she would have been a commissioned officer. Her outstanding service would have been that of a U.S. Army Officer.

  • Maiden Maidens: Female Pioneers Commemorated on American Postage Stamps
    MAIDEN MAIDENS: FEMALE PIONEERS COMMEMORATED ON AMERICAN POSTAGE STAMPS ANNE FRYE DR. SUROJIT GUPTA ID 499, HONORS THESIS MAY 5, 1989 - ~C.blf ,hestS L-D ;),4,(/{ .7_1f­ ICfBq - .F~united states postage stamps are significant beyond the fact that they provide the means for carrying mail throughout the world. These postage stamps tell the story of the American experience from Columbus' discovery of the new world to the two hundredth anniversary of the American constitution. The first official united states postage stamps, which featured George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, were issued on July 1, 1847. 1 It was not until 1893 that a woman appeared on aU. s. postage stamp. Queen Isabella of Spain, who financially supported Christopher Columbus' search for a new shipping route to India, was depicted on several stamps of the Columbian Expedition Issue. She was featured prominently on one such stamp which contained portraits of both Columbus and herself. 2 From 1847 to 1988 over 2400 U.S. postage stamps have been issued. 3 Only ninety of these stamps have commemorated women and/or female-related subj ects. Actually only seventy-four of these stamps feature different women or women-related subjects because the other sixteen stamps are reprints or slight variations of original stamps. An examination of u.s. postage stamps with female subjects reveals that several of these women were pioneers in one way or another. Other female subjects of postage stamps include presidents' wives, such as Martha Washington; heroines, such as Sybil Ludington; organization founders, such as JUliette Gordon Low of the Girl Scouts; women's rights workers, such as Susan B.

  • Women's History
    Women’s History The fight for equal rights Dear Friend, The women’s rights movement started over 150 years ago here in New York State. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony led the way in the fight for women’s suffrage, helping women secure the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment. Since then, women have fought tirelessly to break down barriers and expand women’s rights and their role in society. However, the fight for equality is not yet over. “Female firsts” and glass ceilings still exist and this must be corrected. Women’s equality is not up for debate. That’s why I’m calling on the Senate to join the Assembly in passing the full Women’s Equality Act – all 10 points. Let’s take time to not only reflect on the accomplishments of women but to also recommit ourselves to achieving true equality for women. To learn more about the Women’s Equality Act, visit the Assembly’s website or contact my office. Sincerely, N.

    LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION memorializing Governor David A. Paterson to proclaim May 20, 2010, as Women of Valor Day in the State of New York WHEREAS, The dictionary defines the word "valor" as "boldness or deter- mination in facing great danger; heroic courage; bravery"; and WHEREAS, Throughout the history of the State of New York and the history of the United States of America there have been many women who have exemplified the definition of valor on the battlefield, as stated on the plaque of the New York State Women Veterans Memorial: "New York State Women have earned the highest decorations for valor and service from our State and Nation"; and WHEREAS, As early as the Revolutionary War, women such as Margaret Corbin, who fought at the Battle of Fort Washington, have demonstrated great valor, skill and determination in combat; and WHEREAS, The only female recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, Mary Edwards Walker, who served during the Civil War, was born in Oswego, New York; and WHEREAS, It is also incumbent on the State of New York to recognize those women of valor who did not participate in war yet distinguished themselves in other ways, women such as Sojourner Truth who risked her life to escape from slavery and later became the first African-American woman to win a court case against a white man; and WHEREAS, Shirley Chisholm demonstrated her valor and courage by over- coming prejudice to become the first African-American woman elected to Congress where she served New York's Bedford Stuyvesant community from 1968 until 1982;
