SUPER LOVE SHOUT OUT TO OUR AMPLIFY PEEPS! LAST NIGHT WAS OFF THE HOOK! I am so incredibly proud of our speakers and participants. What an amazing night. I am proud to know you guys! You are going to change the world!
Pop up meeting today after school if you can make it? We need to touch base really quick! spread the word! At our meeting on Tuesday 4/4 we had guest speakers come from Northwestern University to talk to us about a study they are doing and about LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing. It was awesome!
Pencils are in! Come by and pick up pencils to sell! We will be hosting our First Annual Lavender Ceremony! Planning will start at our next meeting! We also need to plan for the Day of Silence! Our next meeting will be THURSDAY 4/13! Please stop by before then to pick up pencils! We had a great meeting today after school! If you missed it, here's what we did:
1. check in--got caught up! 2. yearbook picture 3. checked out this very website! 4. talked about upcoming senior celebration 5. talked about fundraising 6. talked about Day of Silence Next meeting will be Tuesday after spring break (4/4). We will have a guest speaker from Nortwestern University! Still lots of work to be done for Day of Silence so keep an eye out for information! There will be a meeting on Tuesday 3/21 after school. Bring craft supplies! We will make posters and decorations for our Day of Silence coming up 4/21.
Also, come looking fresh because we will have our yearbook photo taken! WV students have been meeting after school for the last few months to share experiences with race, ethnicity, gender, and identity. Each week we have conversations about the issues which face our diverse student body. These conversations are so empowering, but also leave us sometimes feeling overwhelmed by the difficulties that some students face. We will meet again on Friday 3/17 and Thursday 3/23 in room 106. Hope you can join us!
There will be an event in the evening on 4/5. Admission is free with tickets. Email [email protected] for tickets. I was lucky to be able to go see the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch this weekend. The musical features a strong LGBTQ lead, and it won 4 Tony's on Broadway in 2014 (Neil Patrick Harris played the lead).
We met with the French club on Tuesday and made Mardi Gras masks! So much fun to meet new friends and be creative. Two new GSA members even won prizes for Best Use of Mardi Gras Colors and Most Creative! We will meet again on 3/21 and get to planning the Day of Silence!
Mrs. Smith is going to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch tonight! www.broadwayinchicago.com/show/hedwig-and-the-angry-inch/ There is an Amplify meeting today after school! |
