The Clackamas Print Wednesday, May 1,1996 News Parents share school day experience with children Pamela Sirianni News Editor Several CCC students and staff participated in the fourth an nual “Take Our Daughters To Work Day” last Thursday, April 25. Focus on Women sponsored a taco bar luncheon for parents and their daughters. During the lun cheon several parents and daugh ters shared their reasons for par ticipating in this event. The Ms. Foundation for Women created “Take Our Daugh ters To Work Day” in order to show girls what goes on in the workplace and to talk to them about what women can do and be in the world. This event was cre ated as an intervention in the troubled lives of adolescent girls. “Take Our Daughters To Work Day” was created three years ago “to ensure that girls of every race, socio-economic back ground, and degree of ability grow into adulthood with a sustained sense of purpose and power,” ac cording to the Ms. Foundation For Women. This day is designed to ex pose girls to the opportunities that they can take advantage of. “I think it’s important because as far as we’ve come there’s still this stigma of education for women. My daughter is only in first grade and she’s experienced th? ‘you can’t do it you’re a girl’ syndrome. In order to give her the maximum opportunity to achieve whatever she can she needs to know that she can do it. I’m re ally excited that they did this,” said Last Saturday was the AmeriCorps’ third birthday and the Headwaters of Fairview Creek, in Gresham was the location of a tree and shrub planting party. Native trees and shrubs were planted to help restore the area as Laney Fouse Copy Editor Each year during the International Convention, Phi Theta Kappa recognizes the achievements of excellence by its members. At this year’s convention in Washington, D.C., Alpha Xi Zeta chapter President Rosemary Jane was awarded the honor of Most Distinguished Chapter President. According to Jane, she didn’t realize at first her name had been called until co-advisor Dave Arter jumped up from his chair and started clapping. The award will be presented at the Regional Conference, May 3-5 in the Dalles, Ore.

Molly Turner, a student at Clackamas who brought her seven-year-old daughter Emily to school with her. Many mothers expressed praise for this event. “I think it’s a good experience for them,” said Physical Educa tion/Health Aide Amy Levi, whobrought her six-year-old daughter Lori to work with her. “I don’t want them to wait as long as I did to go to college,” said student Cindy Hines-Kurfman of her two daughters, Lydia, 5 and Abigail, 9. Lynda Myers, executive sec retary of business at Clackamas has brought her daughter Katie Owings to work with her for the last two years. “I think there is still the con cept that girls don’t really have to work. That they can just sit home while the male is the primary worker of the family. I think that’s why this is so important; it exposes the girls to a lot more opportuni ties,” said Myers. “Take Our Daughters To Work Day” has created some con troversy between men and women. The reason for exposing girls to the work force is that men are expected to work while women are unsure of their role in the work place. This event allows girls to see first hand that there are many job opportunities for them. “If they would have given this a different name like ‘Job Shad owing’, it would be better. That’s what they’re doing, they’re follow ing us to work and learning our job and what a woman can do in this particular job,” said Myers.
