Events:

• April 14th - Pink Wave
  • Attached is a short deck explaining what it is with some activity suggestions. 
  • Schools may consider purchasing wristbands or ribbons to make sure everyone who wants to can participate.  
  • At ES we are focusing on Pink Wave. 

• April 22nd - Pride Picnic 
  • Please DO NOT email this flier to your whole school or publically post on your school's website. We recommend sharing it with the students who participate in your school's Rainbow Club, LGBTQ+ PTA/PTO group and/or students you know are LGBTQ+ identified or have families that are.  SSWs at sites that do not have Rainbow clubs may share this with LGBTQ+ students and families so that they are aware of this event.  It is okay to post to your school’s bulletin board.  We are not doing broad broadcasting of this event as we’re holding it at a public park; we want to make sure only joyful and supportive attendees attend.

Lessons & Slide Decks:

• Advisory lesson plans: these were designed to help foster understanding of and support for our LGBTQ+ community, the barriers they sometimes encounter when trying to access restrooms, and the importance of having free menstrual products in all of our bathrooms. Presentations were created for middle-grade students but can be modified for high school.

Events:

• April 14th Pink Wave – Get your whole school into it 🙂
  • Attached is a short deck explaining what it is with some activity suggestions. 
  • Schools may consider purchasing wristbands or ribbons to make sure everyone who wants to can participate. 

• April 14th Day of Silence – this works best for older students. Here’s some more resources.

​​​Day of Silence may work best for older students; Pink Wave is low commitment, and easy participation as all anyone need do is wear something pink. 

• April 19th MS GSA Field Day: this event is timed to coincide with most schools’ early release day.
  • Field Trip forms are required as this is an SFUSD sponsored event.  
    • Students DO NOT need to get Principal or Teacher signatures as long as they are not going to miss any school (i.e. it’s an early release day).
    • Staff are NOT required to travel with your students on Muni.  
    • High School GSAs and QGroups are invited to plan an activity for the MS attendees.  Note: We will be outside without access to tables or power. 
    • Please let Kena Hazelwood, LGBTQ Student Services Coordinator, know if your students are planning on attending. 

• May 29th Lavender Senior Celebration - Save the date! 
  • This event will be open to all SFUSD LGBTQ+ High School students organized and planned by LYRIC.  More details will be available closer to the date.
