Michelle Obama went back to school on March 19 and brought along some high-wattage friends, including singers Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys (center) and astronaut Mae Jemison. In celebration of Women’s History Month, the women spent the day speaking to girls at Washington, D.C.-area schools about attaining their dreams and setting career goals.
