There are many ways to celebrate Pride all year long!
1) Pride Flag / Ally Assembly - Plan a short assembly that explains about the Pride Flag and what it means to be an ally.
2) Visibility - Fly the Pride flag, design a poster with an inclusive, inspiring message or wear our rainbow ally accessories. Create Pride-themed art or greeting card to share with a friend.
3) Ally Actions - We show our respect and care for our students and staff by celebrating their talents and all they contribute to our community, including their experiences as people who identify as LGBTQIA+. We respect all different family structures and use a person's asserted pronouns when we refer to one another. We stand up and say something if we see harassment or mistreatment when it is safe to do so.
4) Inclusive Lessons - We read literature with LGBTQIA+ characters and identities. We learn about the history of people who are LGBTQIA+, the movement for civil rights and their contributions to our communities.
5) Building community through learning about our diverse identities and experiences - We learn more about identities of diverse people, including understanding more about their race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, gender and culture. We learn about how the intersection of more than one part of their identity affects their experience living and going to school in the Bay Area. We work together to create more justice and equality within our community to support people from diverse backgrounds and reduce bullying, harassment and discrimination of people that happens to them just because of their identity or perceived identity. We get to know each other as people and celebrate each other to fully express our authentic selves.
