East Ramapo schools launch 'Sheroes' video series for Women’s History Month

The East Ramapo Central School District released a Spanish-language message to mark March as Women’s History Month and announced the return of its "Sheroes" (Heroínas) video series.

A presenter for the East Ramapo Central School District said, "El mes de marzo es el mes de la historia de la mujer," opening the message with a recognition of the monthlong observance and the district’s intent to honor women’s contributions.

The district introduced the program as the "Exclusiv Heroínas" series, linking it to the Regent Judith Johnson initiative and describing the series as a tribute to women who "inspirar y le dan valor a nuestra comunidad." The presenter defined a "shero" as "una mujer a la que la gente admira," adding that such women lead, help others, work hard and stand up for what is right.

The presenter said the series is now in its fifth year and that "este año, los estudiantes de todo el distrito conocerán a 14 sherows extraordinarias de nuestra comunidad local y más allá," indicating students across the district will produce 14 biographies about honorees from the local area and beyond. The message noted that students create the biographical pieces and reflective questions that "cobran vida" on screen.

The district closed the brief message with a community greeting and an encouragement to celebrate local women during Women’s History Month. No formal board action, vote, or funding details were mentioned in the recording.

Next steps: the district did not specify release dates or distribution channels for the videos in the message; those details were not provided.
