<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Today is the Day of Silence, a national event with the purpose of bringing attention to LGBTQ+ issues in schools. Many students on campus today have taken a vow of silence to reflect the silencing
effect of bullying and harassment. During 4th and 5th periods, the BHS Gay Straight Alliance will host panel discussions in the Little Theater to increase awareness about LGBTQ+ issues. And at the end of today, there will be a scream on the Senior Steps to
break the silence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
