It’s Ally Week in the Senior School. Ally Week is about raising awareness about how we can be better allies to LGBT youth, and stand up against anti-LGBT language, bullying and harassment.
Become an ally by signing the pledge, and posing for a selfie with “Ally the Ally”. Learn more about Ally Week at glsen.org/allyweek.
Senior students had a chance to sign up for clubs on Wednesday during the lunch hour. There are 25 clubs on offer this year and there is something for everyone! Clubs are organized by students, and require a teacher sponsor. Of course, students are reminded to consider their current course load, as well as athletics, service and other extra-curricular activities before committing to a club.
