GLBTQ Families Dinner - 2004

For the past 5 years, the Health Education Office of Seattle Public Schools has held a hugely successful and fun GLBT Families Dinner. This event is supported entirely through community donations and has grown from about 80 participants to over 200 in 2004!

Each year, GLBT parents of Seattle Schools students, GLBT students, their friends and families and supportive SPS staff come together to support one another in a welcoming environment. Kids can meet other kids with similar families and family members have a chance to talk to others who share their experiences.

The Superintendent and members of the Board greet and address those in attendance reinforcing the fact that family participation is key and that all families truly are welcome in Seattle Public Schools.

This annual event typically happens in the Fall. For more information, please contact the Health Education Office at 252-0982.
