Nightingale students are joining schools across the nation this week as active participants in Ally Week, with programming led by Spectrum, our Upper School Gay-Straight Alliance. Ally Week is sponsored by GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) and is dedicated to identifying, supporting, and celebrating allies who speak out against anti-LGBT bullying and harassment. To kick off the week, students were invited to sign the Ally Pledge and sport a rainbow ribbon to identify themselves as an ally. In addition, Middle School students had the opportunity to hear from the co-heads of Spectrum and an Upper School panel of girls who shared their experiences about friends and loved ones who made the decision to come out.
