My Project

I seek to acquire materials to help my students who identify and are struggle with self identity. The materials I seek are a collection of books and activities for students to understand the complex social justice topics within the LGBTQ+ community and ultimately better understand themselves. The additional materials and resources I seek are books and resources for me to support students who identify or in the process of identifying as LGBTQI+. It is my hope to empower both the students and staff at my school to embrace who they are and it's okay to be you.
