>Ally Week Story From Diana At Baruch College Campus High School

>Today is the 3^rd day of the fifth annual Ally Week and organizers are still going strong to identify, support and celebrate safe schools allies! Diana who is doing Ally Week at Baruch College Campus High School in New York, is organizing a cookie campaign to spread the word about their new GSA. They are giving out cookies to people they talk to about the GSA and about Ally Week. They’re also going to advisories to ask students to sign the Ally Pledge. When Ally Week is over they are going to take the pledges they receive and make an Ally Week quilt. Congrats on the great organizing!

We want to hear what you’re doing for Ally Week. You can email us at info@allyweek.org to tell us about your Ally Week organizing and experiences. You can also follow the conversation on Twitter.
