From Facebook:
“The Trump administration announced a new attack on transgender students by stating that it will stop enforcing Title IX education protections, and it will rescind the Guidance released by the Obama administration last May.
Join NCTE and parents of transgender youth for a rally outside the White House to let the White House, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions know that they are #WrongOnIX!
The Trump administration needs to know that trans students, our families, and our allies will not stand for this callous attack on trans children.
Alternative actions for those outside the DMV area:
· Draft a letter to the editor to your local paper
· Go to our School Action Center and encourage your local school district to support their transgender students http://bit.ly/2loSL6G
· Connect and volunteer with LGBT friendly legal and equality organizations
· Donate to NCTE and support our fight for equality! http://bit.ly/1SEvVP9
· Hold an event or rally in your community

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
