Happy Pride Month! "Your authentic you is welcome here" sits over the Goodman Community Center circle logo on the right side of the screen. The background is a faded rainbow pattern. Each letter in pride is a color of the rainbow: P is red, R is yellow, I is green, D is blue, E is purple.
Two high school age teenagers--one black boy in a puffy jacket and sweatshirt with hood up and a black girl, also in a puffy jacket and sweatshirt but with the hood down--are wearing all black, complete with black latex gloves. They both stand behind a table with catered Marie's soul food displayed as they're in the middle of serving families dinner to help out middle school programming. The girl is on the right and giving a small smile to the camera while the boy smirks gently. They are both leaning up against a white wall with a Thank You sign behind them in black paper and gold lettering.
Nutrition administration manager Nellie - a white woman with reddish brown hair in a ponytail, wearing a red and white University of Wisconsin t shirt with a dark grey long sleeve underneath and jeans - is kneeling down to help a diverse group of 4 three year olds through a nutrition activity. Nellie is paying close attention to a child in jeans and a long sleeve light green tshirt and black shoes with their hair in a ponytail, and her back is slightly turned to three children placing items in their correct places on a door with velcro.
Coach Vern, a large, bald black man in black t-shirt over a maroon long sleeve leads an end of session huddle with the elementary and high school students. Everyone has their fists in the middle of the circle, starting a cheer to hype themselves up. The elementary schoolers are grouped towards the middle while the teens encircle them from the outside.
