June is PRIDE month and Bulkeley’s GSA has been working on a number of things in celebration. GSA members have created Bulletin boards, posters, and presentations to highlight all things LGBTQ+.
Students participated in a PRIDE Month Presentation in seminar this week. Bulkeley is committed to celebrating all our students. YOU are why we’re a COMMUNITY!
No family should go hungry, especially this time of year. If you or someone you know is experiencing food instability right now, please take advantage of these food distribution events for Hartford’s families.
While we’ve all sheltered in place for safety during the COVID Crisis, another “shadow pandemic” has emerged – that of violence against women.
According to the United Nations, “Since the outbreak of COVID-19, emerging data and reports from those on the front lines, have shown that all types of violence against women and girls, particularly domestic violence, has intensified.”
This year’s theme is “Orange the World. Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!” November 25th will begin 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. As the world has gone into lockdown, acts of violence have spiked here in the US and around the globe.
Students at Bulkeley High School got an early start on their 16 days, beginning with a display in the main hall of Bulkeley’s Graduate Campus. Students in Mrs. Vargas-Castillo’s classes worked to create this butterfly-themed presentation to increase awareness of the issue. The butterfly is a prominent symbol in the fight against domestic violence, symbolizing the journey from victim to survivor.
On Friday, October 23, 2020, the students and staff of Bulkeley High School wore pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, standing with the millions who have faced this disease.
