Members of the Port Jefferson School District’s Gay Straight Alliance attended the first GSA summit recently held at Shoreham Wading River High School along with co-advisors Ms. Dinarae Camarda and Ms. Kristin Britt. The students participated in workshops and group discussions with students from area high schools. Topics addressed were safe spaces and positive ways of advocating for LGBTQ students. “The event was such a positive venue for connecting and empowering our students,” said Ms. Britt. “Part of our message to the students was finding the champions in our schools and being heroes themselves.”
