Hey #MHMSMd Mountain Lions come check out our #MHMSPride 🏳️🌈 book display! You still have another week or so to check out a book & these are awesome! We have always been and hope will always be a #SafeSpace for all our kids! #LGBTQIA+ #Ally We’re featuring both fiction and nonfiction books! #NOCensorship here!
🏳️🌈One of my students checked out a book from this display right after I finished setting it up and asked – “Do my parents know what books I check out from here?” To which I replied, “Nope. Not this year. You have the right to read whatever you want with full belief of confidentiality. We would never out you. But Politics can change things. “
Yes, sadly, there are some school districts and states that want to notify parents of the books they check out!” HORROR!
Why does it seem like we’re going backwards and not forwards? i’d like to hear what you think of the comments. It scares me!
This is the full pyramid display! 🏳️🌈 #MHMSMd Mountain Lions come on in & check out our #MHMSPride book display!
We have always been, and hope to always be, a #SafeSpace for all our kids! #LGBTQIA+ #Ally.
MISSING!!! Update FOUND!
Sad true story though, my rainbow Narwhal stuffed animal pictured above has gone missing! Just hoping some middle school kid needed it more than we did. If not, I hope it’s brought back. Can you help him find his way home?
