Celebrating Pride Month

As educators, we all have the responsibility to ensure that everyone feels accepted no matter their race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Pride Month occurs in the United States to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBTQ+ people have had in the world.

One of Think Together’s primary focuses in our programs is Social-Emotional Learning, which teaches students to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Social and emotional learning doesn’t stop once we are out of school; it is continuous learning and understanding other people’s perspectives, and accepting differences.

Join us this month in learning more, becoming better allies and cultivating safe and inclusive spaces for all. The resources below are a great start.
