GSA
LGBTQ+ MONTH+ SPIRIT DAY
GSA (gender & sexuality alliance)
Happy October 1st! Today is the official start of LGBTQ+ History Month. LGBTQ+ History Month is a month-long celebration of the history of the diverse and beautiful lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community.
Started in 1994 by gay high school teacher Rodney Wilson of Missouri and some of his community members, every year for LGBTQ+ History Month, we take this time to reflect and learn about the people, places, and moments that helped move the LGBTQ+ community forward on its path to acceptance and equality. The LGBTQ+ community is strong and will continue to grow stronger.
GSA (Gender & Sexuality Alliance)
Spirit Day!
On Thursday, October 20th, students and staff across the district wore purple in support of LGBTQ+ youth and to bring awareness to bullying. It is on this day each year that millions go purple to support LGBTQ youth.
Today, LGBTQ youth, and especially our trans and nonbinary youth, are experiencing a level of scrutiny in schools we have never seen, leading to an environment rife with stressors beyond the peer-to-peer bullying of the past. A 2021 national survey by the trevor project shows the majority of LGBT youth (52%) who were enrolled in middle or high school report being bullied either in person or electronically in the past
It may have been a small gesture, but it showed that we as a community not only support LGBTQ staff and students, but also oppose any form of bullying.

Dear Parents and Students of the Class of 2023,
All seniors for the class of 2023 need to get their YEARBOOK PORTRAIT taken by Prestige Portraits. This service is provided free of charge and includes insertion in the yearbook, as well as on the class composite. Students must have their yearbook photo taken by November 5, 2022 in studio (see address below).
Once the photos are processed, students/parents must choose their preferred photo by November 24, 2022. If a pose is not chosen by that date, the studio will choose a pose to be submitted. Prestige will then send the photo directly to Mr. Lovalvo. There is nothing else that the student (or parent) needs to do in order to appear in the yearbook or on the class composite.
Students and parents will still have the opportunity to go to their preferred choice of photographer, if it is not Prestige Portraits, for their other senior photos. While only the yearbook pose sitting fee is FREE OF CHARGE, Prestige will be offering significant discounts for other senior picture packages as well. For instance, if you complete your session by 9/3/2022, you’ll receive $10 off the Standard session or higher.
Please remember that this is a more formal section of the yearbook than the underclassmen photo section. Because of this, students need to dress up - shirt/tie/suit coat, collared shirt, dress, blouse, etc. All clothing needs to meet these specifications and the RCS dress code policy in order to be included in the yearbook and on the class composite. If you (or your child) need help obtaining proper attire, need more information regarding attire, or need help with transportation to the studio, please contact Mr. Lovalvo at [email protected].
Please call 248-377-2444 or go online at http://www.prestigeportraits.com/studio and make a senior portrait appointment as soon as possible. Although the deadline to be photographed is November 5, 2022, appointments fill quickly.
Students who do not get their yearbook photo taken with Prestige by the deadline will not appear in the senior section of the yearbook.
