Dear school leaders, GSA advisors, teachers, families, and students

November 4-6 is Pride Weekend in Palm Springs! Read on for more information. Additionally, this November issue of the Shout Outs Newsletter has some wonderful updates from GSAs across the district.
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!

The Palm Springs Pride Parade is Sunday, November 6th. If your club is marching in the parade, you should already have received a parade contingent number.
Staff members and students are also invited to march with the PSUSD LGBTQ+ Alliance! The parade contingent number is 149 and will be marked on the street, likely near Stevens Road on Palm Canyon. Participants marching with the PSUSD LGBTQ+ Alliance are asked to arrive between 9:15 and 10:00 am.
