The 5/6 students really enjoyed discussing drag queens and watching Drag Queen Storytime videos.

Some lower school students read Ho’onani Hula Warrior, a story about a real-life young trans hero in Hawaii. After they read the book, they watched a video about Ho’onani Hula called “This Is Ho’Onani” 

We also read:

• Kindergarten – I am Jazz and Not He or She, I’m Me! 
• 1/2 – Kapaemahu (a folk tale!) and My Maddy 
• 3/4 – If you’re a Kid Like Gavin: The True Story of a Young Trans Activist  and Melissa 
• In art class – 47,000 Beads
• In music class – Miss Rita Mystery Reader and My Rainbow

A huge thank you to all of the K-4 teachers, Caroline, Esly, Meg, and Shahzore for sharing and celebrating these stories with our students. It is so important that our students see themselves in literature and that they see other perspectives and identities.
