Mar. '23 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 resources for celebrating Women's History Month, a spotlight on the work the Equality California Mentorship Corps is doing at Desert Hot Springs High School, and updates from GSAs around the district.
You can also find great resources, including the Alliance's Year at a Glance calendar, helpful glossaries of terms, a staff resource library, and more!
