November 20 is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance established in 1999 to remember those who have been lost to acts of transgender violence. For many families of transgender people, there will be empty chairs around the Thanksgiving table this year due to those senseless acts—perhaps one of those tables is yours. Organizations like [...]

There is much to be grateful for every day, but November tends to turn our minds toward gratitude more than any other month.

Simply Good: Supporting Academic Recovery

By STACEY A. GORDONPosted on August 2, 2021October 15, 2021Posted in Simply GoodTagged Academics, Education, Recovery, School, Simply Good

I’ve heard it said that, despite substantial distance learning efforts, students of all ages in all locations have essentially lost an entire year of their education due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s hard to believe it’s been more than 50 years since the very first Pride march in New York City. Half a century has gone by, yet the LGBTQ+ community is still fighting to be seen and heard. It comes as no surprise, then, that the theme for this year’s march in the Big Apple [...]
