17 schools around Wyoming participated in a Spread the Word to End the Word event. This means thousands of students, teachers and staff were exposed to the message of ending the R-word and spreading acceptance! We are very proud to support these students and schools in such a meaningful message. Make sure to contact Allison Harker to get your school involved!
