We’re firm believers that diversity should be celebrated. Yet, according to a 2023 UCLA report, LGBTQ+ youth experience hunger and food insecurity at a rate higher than their peers who do not identify as LGBTQ+. This is partially attributed to LGBTQ+ youth skipping school or avoiding school cafeterias because they are being bullied or feel unsafe, and therefore are missing school meals. When kids are hungry, it's also harder for them to focus in the classroom. This #PrideMonth, we both celebrate LGBTQ+ youth and acknowledge the unique challenges they face. All kids deserve unrestricted access to school meals. All kids deserve to feel safe in the cafeteria. All kids deserve to feel nourished so they can concentrate in class. We will always advocate for this. 🏳️🌈 View the report: https://ow.ly/2qLQ50Sk3No

As we approach the end of Pride Month, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the importance of allyship. Pride Month is a beautiful celebration of love, acceptance, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. But let's remember that support shouldn't be limited to these 30 days. Being an ally means showing up consistently, even when the rainbow flags come down. We're all on a journey of self-discovery and growth. As allies, it's crucial to keep learning, unlearning, and challenging biases. Attend workshops, read books, listen to diverse voices, and engage in conversations that expand your understanding. Allyship isn't performative—it's about action. Reach out to LGBTQ+ friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Ask how they're doing, celebrate their victories, and stand by them during challenges. Amplify their voices and advocate for equal rights. None of us have all the answers so it's important to approach allyship with humility. Seek feedback, acknowledge mistakes, and commit to doing better. The more we learn, the stronger our support becomes. #PrideMonth #Allyship #LoveIsLove #InclusionMatters

Diversity means a lot when it touches you personally. It doesn't strictly mean that you need to be one to know one... Without entering into personal details, I have seen many individuals reaching out their true potential and being fully recognised once they felt welcomed and accepted. Diversity is about creating an environment where everyone feels respected and valued for who they are, regardless of their background, identity, or experiences. When people feel safe and supported, they are more likely to reach their full potential and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.

In an era where gender-based discrimination is on the rise, particularly affecting LGBTQ+ students, it's crucial to open dialogues in our schools. Circle practice offers a powerful approach for sharing personal stories, encourages the expression of diverse opinions, and facilitates meaningful discussions on LGBTQ+ topics. It's important to create a regular schedule for these discussions, moving beyond the "heroes and holidays" approach to ensure consistent engagement with LGBTQ+ issues. Additionally, teachers as facilitators are well-trained in creating a supportive environment is key to the success of these circles. By integrating these practices, we can build more inclusive and empathetic school communities where all students feel valued and heard. This approach not only supports LGBTQ+ students but also educates the entire school community, fostering a culture of acceptance and understanding. Inspired by "Circle Forward: Building Restorative School Community" by Carolyn Boyes-Watson and Kay Pranis. #Pride #InclusiveEducation #LGBTQSupport
