Out and About Across the District!
Agua Caliente Elementary School
Agua Caliente Elementary School celebrated Harvey Milk Day with a school wide read aloud of Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Pride Flag.
Cabot Yerxa Elementary School Rainbow Club
The CYES Rainbow Club threw an end of the year party using funds from the Palm Springs Gay Men's Chorus grant. One parent of a club member made a fabulous rainbow cake that was the centerpiece of a table full of tasty snacks! The kids put on an impromptu flagging performance with a song about the letters in LGBTQ+, watched a video reflecting on their year, and enjoyed spending time with their families and community members and leaders who came to join in the celebration.
