We Say Gay: Parker Pride Week 2022

On behalf of the Intermediate School Pride Alliance, Middle School Pride Alliance, Upper School Pride Affinity and Queer Faculty and Staff Committee, we are proud to announce Parker’s First All-School Pride Week set for Monday, May 2 to Friday, May 6. 

During the course of the week, we plan to come together and celebrate our LGBTQ+ community with a variety of cross-divisional events designed to share history and increase visibility. In the past, Pride Week was celebrated throughout our community at different times of the year. Moving forward, we will join efforts and come together as a complete community. 

As Parker Pride Week approaches, event details will be announced. Until then, should you want to get involved, please let us know. We are excited to decorate our halls, engage our community and SAY GAY!

With Great Pride,

Intermediate School Pride Alliance
