Students in Mrs. Boselli's Spanish 4H classes have been presenting their research on health care coverage in Spanish speaking countries with their peers recently. Presentations are part of our year-long focus on Global Health Equity.
It was empowering to hear the stories of girls from around the world (most younger than us) who were able to make such a significant impact in their communities & beyond. We hope to bring what we learned today back to Ursuline, especially through the Women for Women club!"
