Meet the Rainbow

Feeling unsafe about your sexuality and want a place to talk about it? Well have no fear the very first Gay straight Alliance club is here for you. Started and suggested by Andrew Either, and now advisor of the club Mrs.Gould. They hope that the club will ensure a safe place ALL students, regardless of the sexual orientation or even gender identity. Angela Deleporta co-finder and major supporter for the gruop says "..a safe place, and educated place." is what shes hoping the club will ensure for many students.
To make sure there doing things right and starting off on the right foot, the three of them went to the anual GLSEN (Gay, lesbian and Stragight Education Network) meeting and training corse in Bangor to get the info they needed to start GSA club at Nokomis. Everyone there had open arms with long debates about countless subject, near the end of the training Angela Deleporta brough home the bacon, when winning a lunch box supplied by GLSEN that contained starting sheets and how to guild to start a typical club meeting of GSA. "I want a little bit more nuts and bolts," meaning she was hoping how to handle questions and how to start off, but with hand outs and even videos to set them off in the righ direction.
With some worries about about the schools reaction and other clubs like Civil rights and even Bible club they enticapate a bumpy road ahead. But with high hopes and alot of supporters it seems that the road dosnt seem so bumpy. Andrew when asked by Mrs.Gould "What do you anticapate about the club," with what it seem to be a smile Andrew replied with "I hope this club shows that there not alone."
