Stuart Country Day School, Princeton, N.J. culminated National Women's History Month with a celebration of remarkable women as the Lower School held its annual Women We Admire Day.

Students in the grades K-5 chose a woman they highly regard, research her life and accomplishments. They shared their findings with the rest of the school in a "Talking Museum" where each girl dresses as her woman she admires. Parents, faculty, staff and fellow students visit the Talking Museum where they drop a coin in a cup at the foot of the "display" to hear a live narrative of the woman portrayed by the student.

Each year, the Lower School selects a charitable organization to receive the funds collected during Women We Admire Day. This year's recipient is Woman Space, a Mercer County-based organization that serves victims of domestic violence.

The admirable women making an appearance in this year's celebration were a diverse group reflecting the interests and passions of the Stuart students.
These included Ruth Wakefield, the creator of the chocolate chip cookie; Mother Teresa, television personality Oprah Winfrey, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Olympian Wilma Rudolph and basketball star Lisa Leslie.

Kindergarten student Rachel Bierman of Princeton, dressed as Frida Kahlo, educates the audience about the Mexican artist's life as part of Women We Admire Day at Stuart Country Day School.
