Sunday, November 20, 2022 was the Transgender Day of Remembrance

It is a day to commemorate transgender people who have lost their lives or been the victim of anti-transgender violence. This day has been around since 1999 when Gwendolyn Ann Smith, a transgender advocate, organized a vigil to honor the death of Rita Hester.  Hester was one of many victims of anti-transgender violence.

 Wednesday Announcement

National Asexual Awareness week continues. WOW!! (exasperated) This may be uncomfortable for you all to listen to and we appreciate everybody's openness to learning about these things. Asexuality is an umbrella term, covering all kinds of experiences and identities. Lets try and continue this! Hopefully you’re learning that Asexuality is a real thing. There are some people that believe Asexuals are just Homosexuals in denial and discriminate against them. Asexuals also have to deal with being pressured into sexual activity and/or assaulted. Some people think being Asexual is just a phase and that they haven’t found the right person yet. Please join celebrating this Awareness Week by wearing Black, white gray and purple on Friday

 Lifetouch will be here Thursday 10/27 for RETAKES and for any student or staff member that was not photographed on the initial photo day.

Students wishing to have their photo retaken should check their Synergy email for the sign up link.  Students must sign up by the end of Wednesday 10/26.

Students will receive a pass on Thursday morning to give to your teacher.

If you purchased photos ... you also need to bring your original photo package with you.

Thank you.
