Our high school and middle school QSA Clubs participated in Woodstock's Inaugural "Pride of Woodstock" event that was held this past weekend to open up Pride Month! Our high school QSA leaders participated in the planning and organizing with the Pride of Woodstock Committee for this great event. Our QSA students had a table for the "Made with Pride Arts and Crafts Fair", and organized and hosted the Open Mic on The Green.

WUMS QSA students put hours of time and energy into a program they developed called, "Live Your Life". Big goal: To increase empathy and promote positive social interaction in our middle school by helping people get to know each other’s stories. They led a presentation each day during Connections Time this week to address tough topics with group activities. Students in the 7th and 8th grade were mixed into 7 different groups. They also designed and made buttons and a resource brochure. The Woodstock Inn supported our group by helping with the costs of white carnation flowers that were offered at the end of an assembly presentation to students. Three other important middle school QSA members were absent for the group picture.
