Dec. '22 Shout Outs!
A monthly update on GSAs & the PSUSD LGBTQ Alliance
Dear school leaders, GSA advisors, teachers, families, and students
This is the PSUSD LGBTQ Alliance's monthly newsletter. Our vision is to empower and affirm the LGBTQ+ students, staff, and families of PSUSD by developing policy, implementing trainings, and increasing student, parent, and community engagement.
In this issue of Shout Outs you will find joyful photos of the Palm Springs Pride Parade, updates from GSAs around the district, and resources for the classroom!
You can also find great resources, including the Alliance's Year at a Glance calendar, helpful glossaries of terms, updates on GSA clubs, a staff resource library, and more!
