Women's History Month Edition

March in Review

March 2026 was a month of celebration, connection, and growth across the Willingboro Township Public Schools community. We honored Women's History Monthwith weekly spotlights on trailblazing women, integrated curriculum activities, and student-led projects that brought history to life.

Our Parent-Teacher Conferences (March 17–24) provided invaluable opportunities for families and educators to partner in student success. We also celebrated Read Across America Day, Pi Day, and welcomed the First Day of Spring.

As we prepared for spring assessments and looked ahead to April, the Chimera spirit of pride, purpose, and excellence was on full display every day.
