Maine South High School Students Participate in Fearless Girls Event
Juniors and seniors at Maine South, who were chosen by Maine South faculty and staff members, participated in an event titled Fearless Girls. The half day session aimed to share with young women the obstacles women face, to help the students prepare for obstacles in their own lives and to celebrate how strong and capable the students are in whatever they choose to do after high school.
During the ½ day session, students learned about the Fearless Girl statue in New York City and discussed its significance and the inscription on the statue that states: “Know the power of women in leadership. SHE makes a difference.”

Transit agencies in the New York City region, where transit use is six times higher than any other region of the country according to the Pew Research Center, should join their peers in this nationwide VaxTransit movement to ensure vaccine equity.
Why is VaxTransit necessary? Black and Latino people in New York and New Jersey aren’t getting enough vaccines. Black people, 12% of New Jersey’s population, received just 6% of vaccines, despite suffering 16% of COVID-19 deaths. Latino people, 21% of New Jersey’s population, received just 9% of vaccines, yet they have suffered 20% of COVID-19 deaths.

Take a look at the trailer right here.
In the trailer, we see Colleen and Melissa engage with a variety of clientele (and their human handlers).
