The Tiger Times
Week of: April 25, 2022
Hello Tigers!
Day of Silence
April 22nd is the National Day of Silence. The Day of Silence is a student-led national event organized in thousands of schools, bringing awareness to the silencing effects of anti-LGBTQ name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBTQ behavior by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBTQ students and those perceived to be LGBTQ. GSA Club sponsored the Day of Silence here at Elmwood Park High School today, Friday. Teachers wore buttons showing support for our school's LGBTQ population.
