NMS Club Check-In: GSA Club



NMS GSA Club -- A Safe Place for All

A Gender & Sexualities Alliance (GSA) is a club that brings together LGBTQ and straight students to support one another. This club provides a safe environment and allows students to discuss any issues or concerns related to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression

NMS GSA Club meets one Monday a month after school.  Announcements will be made when the Club meets.

Ms. Carolyn Ciulla is our NMS GSA Club Advisor; she is our NMS Health Teacher for all three grades.

For their first club meeting, they engaged in a pronoun activity, checked in, and wrote goals for the year as a Club. 

Typically, Ms. Ciulla will start off the meeting with either a clip or "feel good" story she has read or heard about. Then Club members get into a circle and share how they are feeling and any concerns or issues. There will be one focus each meeting; it just depends on what might be happening in our school, community, country or world around us.  Lastly, we finish up with an activity targeted toward supporting our LGBTQ community. 

Come and be a part of this inclusive group.  The next NMS GSA Club meeting is Monday, November 13, after-school in Ms. Ciulla's Room C205.

Any questions, please see or contact Ms. Ciulla.
