Ally Week is a week for students to identify, support and celebrate
Allies against anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender)
language, bullying and harassment in America's schools. Students will
encourage their peers and school staff to sign an Ally Pledge which
states:

I believe all students, regardless of sexual orientation or gender
identity/expression, deserve to feel safe and supported. That means I
pledge to:

	Not use anti-LGBT language and slurs;
	Intervene, if I safely can, in situations where other students
are being harassed;
	Support efforts to end bullying and harassment.

The Pride Alliance will be collecting pledges all week on campus!

Pride Alliance members will be wearing nametags. Ask for more
information!

Sign the Pledge sheet and the Pride Banner
