The Westmont Alliance Club invites you to participate in the Day of Silence during the School Day on April 22.  Look for more information coming soon.  After the Day of Silence, the Westmont Alliance Club will be attending the Night of Noise Celebration to Break the silence and celebrate and honor those who have been silenced due to their sexual orientation or gender identity at  York High School.  You will have the chance to celebrate with students from area high school GSA organizations and have a fun night.  If you are interested in attending the event with the Westmont Alliance Club See Mrs. Jacobs for more information.  Together we can make this year's Night of Noise the loudest one yet!
