As of last Friday, the OES Women’s Rights Club had its first meeting. The club was started by Zara S. ‘23, along with the help of faculty member Sophia Stone. There was a great turnout to the club’s first zoom meeting with students from all grades. In the club we will be addressing an extensive list of topics, both suggested by Zara S. and added by club members. If you are interested in joining, no matter what grade you’re in or what you identify as, all are welcome!
