"Break The Silence" Dance

Dear Sunnyside Families:

On April 17, the Sunnyside Middle School QSA (Queer-Straight Alliance) club will be hosting the "Break The Silence" dance. Breaking The Silence is an important culmination of a week of activities and education geared toward raising awareness of the issues LGBTQ individuals face in schools and the silence too often thrust upon them by our communities. As part of this week, SES students will lead lessons and conversations that address issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. The dance is an opportunity for everyone to come together and celebrate the diversity and resilience of our SES community.

Mark your calendars for 6:30pm Friday, April 17 and plan to join us as we dance the night away!

Thanks!
Mical and Patrick​
