Parents share school day
experience with children

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

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.

year-old daughter Lori participate in the Take Our
Daughter to Work Day luncheon.

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.
