Reposted from @quotabelle - “Raise your hand.” ~ Alice Paul Tapper . . This elementary school student noticed that the girls in her class weren’t sharing the work they had done for fear they might be wrong. Their voices were being drowned out ~ even though they had done the work and had ideas to contribute. So Alice took action. She inked an op-Ed for the New York Times sharing her own thoughts that started with three simple words: Raise your hand. Then, she worked with the Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital to create a Raise Your Hand patch program designed to boost girls’ confidence. And now, Alice’s illustrated children’s book, published by @penguinkids, is being launched. You can hear Alice’s story today when she shares it with Ellen on @theellenshow. Happy Book Birthday, Alice! #BeautifullySaid by #alicepaultapper @alicepaultapper #student #girlscout @girlscouts #gsnc #childrensbookauthor #kidlit #raiseyourhand #socialactivist #gritandgrace #quotabelle - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUlm3UFn4V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gg6i8suqcajc

Reposted from @quotabelle - “Raise your hand” ~ Alice Paul Tapper . . Ten-year-old Alice noticed that the girls in her class were not participating as much as the boys ~ so she took action. Working with her Girl Scout troop she designed a patch program to help build confidence so their voices would be heard. And, she actually inked an op-ed that appeared in the New York Times. Her positive actions have led to a book, titled Raise Your Hand, due out in March 2019. We think Alice’s words have a message beyond elementary school. We even dedicated our latest book, Grit & Grace, to Alice and the girls of the world. BTW...Alice’s name is inspired by the legendary leader, suffragist Alice Paul. #BeautifullySaid by #alicepaultapper #smartgirl #youngleader #alicepaul #girlscouts @gscnc #girlscoutsnationscapital #raiseyourhand #gritandgrace #quotabelle - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRq_sYFWop/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=em7gtproidne
