Crystal Shield, a teacher at Bloomington High School South, is our guest on this episode of BloomingOUT. Cystal is the Gay Straight Alliance sponsor from the school, and she will be speaking with us about why GSA’s are so important and what’s coming up for Bloomington South’s own GSA. But before that, an update on this week’s news.
To contact Crystal Shield or to learn more about the BHSS Gay Straight Alliance, contact her by email at [email protected].
