My Project

Our GSA members have started planning for Pride Month. We plan to use the LGBTQ+ books on this list to donate to the school library to add more inclusive reading opportunities for students. They are going to hand out ally stickers to staff and students who want to show their support of the queer community. They are also going to set up a booth to distribute pride flags and preferred pronoun stickers. Our hope is to also create a "Born This Way" selfie station so students and staff can both show support and represent their authentic selves. The wall flag in our cart will be hung in our main lobby for all to see!
