in my school there is too many people that do not agree with glbt [gay, lesbian, bi, or transgender] kids. on april 25th we participated in the day of silence, there was a threat of someone being killed because one of the kids didnt agree with what we were doing.

by getting this grant i hope to help the staff at first and then hopefuly help the student body by having a DPI certified person come to the school and talk to the school.

thank you for taking the time to read this,
