STEM K8 Staff Ally with LGBTQIA+ Students

Posted by lambertm on Oct 06, 2021 in General

STEM teacher proudly wears a PTA-created Pride Badge to show alliance with LGBTQIA+ students.

STEM PTA created Pride Badges for staff, teachers and administration to visibly & publicly identify as allies to our students who identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, queer and gender non-conforming.

Badges were distributed on a lanyard to make it easy to wear. The badges also included a brief note to describe their purpose and significance:

Dear Valued Louisa Boren STEM K-8 Educator,

One way you can show support and provide safety for our LGBTQIA+ students is to visibly & publicly identify yourself as an ally. Please accept this lanyard tag as a gift to you from our PTA community as we continue to work to show up and provide a safe school environment and better world for our LGBTQIA+ students. Wear it with love & pride and thanks for all you do for all of our kids. We see you!
