Two hundred teachers at Central High School, Notre Dame Regional High School and the Alternative School will receive a token of appreciation with yellow roses today from the Zonta Club of Cape Girardeau Area, marking International Women's Day. "We are very appreciative of the special contributions these teachers make to the education and development of the youth in our community," said Maria Childress, Zonta Club president. "The yellow rose is a Zonta symbol of the work the organization does to advance the status of women. Yellow Rose Day gives us the opportunity to recognize people in the community who reflect these ideals."
