In case you missed the meeting, we have put together meeting notes and some frequently asked questions and answers, drawing from themes we heard during the November 16th meeting. 

It's official! Tuesday was the grand opening of our Food Equity Club's outdoor food pantry on the 4th St. side of our building. It's stocked and ready for any member of the community to access 24/7. Thanks to all Purgolders who pitched in to bring this to life.

Students can nominate themselves or a peer for the Foundations of Leadership (FOL) program by December 1st. FOL is a dynamic Advanced Learning course focused on the experiences of LGBTQIA+ youth and youth of color. This opportunity is a partnership between MMSD and GSAFE. FOL helps students to develop their capacity for leadership and to empower them to become active partners in racial justice, LGBTQIA+, and intersectional social justice movements. We are currently seeking students who are LGBTQIA+, students of color, and Advanced Learners. Course logistics for the 2022-23 school year: Students currently meet in person at the UW-Madison Campus (transportation provided to and from student's homes) on Mondays from 3:15-4:45pm. Students receive .25 credits per semester for their participation in the course. We are accepting nominations through December 1st for next semester (Semester 2) for students to join! Students can nominate themselves or be nominated by a youth peer, parent/family member, or school staff.
