Our Accomplishments:
In the 2018-2019 school year, we worked to insure gender neutral bathrooms for students and gender neutral graduation gowns! We continued our tradition of attending Urban Peak's Night Out to End Youth Homelessness, and by partnering with NHS, we raised $1600 to donate to Urban Peak! We also participated in GLSEN's Day of Silence in April. Do you have ideas for 2019-2020? Come join us!
