THE MERRILL SPACE
Here at Merrill, we want every student to feel safe and secure. School is a home away from home for some kids and everyone should feel safe. Learn how you can help, and learn about resources for your student below:
Merrill offers a safe space for LGBTQIA+ students! Merrill’s GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) is hosted Mr. Patterson. It’s a place for LGBTQIA+ and straight students alike to sit down and discuss the issues that face LGBTQIA+ students both at school, and out in the real world. This club can be used as a place to talk about all of our experiences, the bad, and the good.
To attend all you have to do is go to meet.google.com and type in the Google meet code: “TheMerrillSpace”.
For more information about GSA at Merrill, please reach out to Mr. Patterson (timothy_patterson@dpsk12.net)
