Students from Prism Club were able to take a field trip to the Outfront Youth Summit in March and to see the Lion King at the Orpheum in April. At the Youth Summit, students learned about their rights, resources, and ways to be involved in the community. At the Lion King, students were able to see world class theater while being in community and sharing time with peers, teachers, and friends. Advisors for Prism Club are Tashi Johns, Kari Roll and Suzanne Blum Grundyson.
