Francis Parker School of Louisville's Middle and High School Queer Student Association is thrilled to host a special Drag Queen Story Time featuring local drag performer May O' Nays, scheduled for Saturday, April 20 at 10:00 a.m. on the Goshen Campus. This inclusive event promises a delightful morning for all ages, filled with captivating storytelling by May O' Nays and options to purchase songs, crafts, and refreshments. Attendees can also look forward to a highly entertaining lip-sync battle featuring Francis Parker faculty and staff! Guests are also invited to participate in a Q&A session with May O' Nays, also known as Andrew, who brings a unique perspective as a former teacher and a current advocate for inclusivity and belonging. We're excited to host this fun and educational event celebrating diversity and fostering a love for storytelling and creativity. May O'Nays embodies the spirit of acceptance and empowerment, and we're honored to have them share their talents with our community. The event will also serve as a fundraiser sponsored by the School’s Queer Student Association, with donations (at the door) supporting the Louisville Youth Group, an organization dedicated to providing resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth in the Louisville area.

Join us on Wednesday, May 8 from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. in the Goshen Campus Theater for our next Thoughtful Series: Viewing and Discussion of Growing Up in Public: Milestones of Growing Up in the Digital Age. This ISACS webinar presentation is designed for parents/guardians of students ranging from Preschool - High School. “How can we help our kids navigate coming of age in a world where nearly every moment of their lives can be shared and compared? How can we help them navigate all the firsts? First Roblox playdate? First social media account? First phone? We can track our children's every move with apps and fixate on their digital footprint, anxious that a misstep could cause them to be ostracized or even jeopardize their admission to college. How can they figure out who they really are with zero privacy and constant judgment? Author and consultant Devorah Heitner shows us that mentoring and not just monitoring our children will help us understand and support them, build our relationships with them, and help them be successful in digital spaces.” For questions and to RSVP, please contact Julie Marks at 502-795-3476 on the Goshen Campus or Dr. TuNice Cole at 502-736-1015 at the High School.
