Thank you Marja. I'll never forget what you taught me, and how much I learned. Even in just a year. I miss you.

Her vision for SGS is to encourage adolescent girls to recognize their strengths as leaders. Helping them to learn how to become involved in the community and the world will make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.

Marja is unbelievable. She has so much passion and strength that she spends selflessly in her quest to empower all girls to reach their full potential. I have seen the changes that these young women undergo, the growth is so very impressive. Go Marja

There's not a more insightful educator or inspirational leader of middle school girls and their families anywhere. She sees the leader, the powerhouse intellect, the courage in every girl lucky enough to be in circleof influence!

Tonia says ... on Thursday, May 6 at 1:07 PM

What a wonderful gift she gives to these girls. There is nothing more important to teach in the classroom than empowerment. I truly wish all young girls could be exposed to such wonderful lessons at this critical age. Marja will be getting my vote.

Girls Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We must continue to support them in every way.

Louise Chernin says ... on Thursday, May 6 at 8:14 AM

With Seattle Girls School we don't have to wish there was an educational program that would help our girls flourish, all we have to do is support and invest in a living model of a visionary and successful school right in our own community.
