2.) Join Seattle Public Schools and the Safe Schools Coalition in the Seattle LGBTQ Pride Parade Sunday, June 30th 11am

What?           
As always, the annual Gay Pride Parade is happening the last Sunday in June. You can join the fun by marching with Seattle Public Schools students, staff and families alongside the Safe Schools Coalition. We will have as our "float," a big ol' yellow school bus. Come ride or march with us!

When?
Sunday, June 30th. The actual parade starts at 11am, but come early. Look for us in the parade staging area on 4th Avenue near Seneca(?). Come find the big school bus!

You can come find us in line on 4th Avenue before the 11:00 start time, or you can simply join from the parade route as the bus comes rolling by!

Who?  
All GSA members, their friends and family and Seattle Schools Staff. We will be joined by School Board members as well as senior leadership staff! All are welcome!

What Else?
You can ride on the bus or you can march alongside the bus. You can carry signs, tape signs to the bus, and even enjoy snacks on the bus! We will have some fun items you can hand out to the crowd too! Also, the parade ends at the Seattle Center where a rally will be going on most of the day. You'll find music, food, information booths, etc. there. Plan to come for the day!

If you have never been to this parade, you will be amazed at the enthusiastic reception our group receives. It is very heart-warming. Hope you can join in the fun.
