Help me give my students the opportunity to have some fun and express their creativity in GSA club meetings, and also with the button makers the ability to raise funds at future events such as homecoming carnivals, etc.
My students are 15-18 years old and come from a variety of backgrounds. I am a social studies teacher, but for this project I am focusing on my role as a GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) Club Advisor. At our school there are many students who benefit from the presence of the GSA. The presidency and the core members who attend weekly meetings and activities benefit most as they have found a core friend group and safe space to hang out. There are students who attend semi-regularly as their schedule allows with friends. There are students who show up occasionally depending on how fun the activity sounds. Finally, the statistics show that just the presence of a GSA in a school lowers suicide rates and has a positive impact on school culture.
My Project
These materials will be used to help kick start the GSA (gay straight alliance) at my school. The button makers in this project were selected because I believe they would be a fun tool to for activities as well as a revenue generating tool for the future. The other items are selected for their creative and connective power.
When students feel safe, connected, valued, and understood at school their ability to focus on their academic studies increases dramatically.
Schools with GSAs are safer for all students. Thank you for your consideration.
