On February 1, we will celebrate 40 years since Title IX was signed to promote gender equality in sports. This is a federal law that must provide equal sports opportunities for girls and women. In 1972, less than 350,000 girls participated in high school sports. Now, over 3 million play sports. We have come a long way, but there is still work to be done. The Middle School girls will wear colorful headbands to support girl power and girls are athletes too!
