Good Morning Tribe!
This coming Friday is International Pronouns Day! Alliance would love to celebrate all of our student's gender identities and expressions on this day. Since we do not have school this Friday, we are going to be celebrating on Monday!
Every 1st period teacher will receive name tags in their mailbox tomorrow morning so that you have them ready for Monday! We are asking that you:
Pass out the name tags and encourage students to put their pronouns on it.
Talk about the importance of pronouns and gender identity and respecting other people's gender expression.
Give students space to represent themselves or maybe even ask questions!
If you are unsure how to talk about pronouns with your students, Alliance has provided two options:

We have members of Alliance that have volunteered to come in and help you with the conversation! Just answer this email with interest!
On Monday I will send out some conversation starters, answers to questions, and Do's and Don'ts that our students in Alliance have come up with to give more direction.
As always, thank you for supporting our students about being themselves and do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Shout to the following staff members for being mentioned as safe spaces from our Alliance members: Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Pav, Mr. Harvey, Ms. Lampel, Ms. Choi, Mrs. Mathews, Dr. Blake, Ms. Pahl, Ms. Cottingham, Mr. Lowe, Mr. Scott, Mrs. Fronzcak, and Mr. Bennett!
