Students read poems, performed songs, danced and came together as a community to share their expressions and interpretations of all forms of love. The GSA also provided pronoun stickers and handmade bracelets to every student who wanted to openly express their gender identity and personal beliefs. We look forward to making this a yearly celebration of love at GPAA as the event was incredibly successful and allowed students additional opportunities to showcase their performance majors for the school community.
