Monday, April 1st

Reminders:

• Tomorrow is Autism Awareness Day! If students bring in $2, they can wear blue! Proceeds will go to Oakwood Academy

What is Blue for $2?

• Across the world, schools are participating in Autism Awareness Day where wearing the colour blue celebrates inclusiveness, understanding and acceptance.
• Wearing blue is in support of those who are on the Autism Spectrum. Donating a toonie provides you with the opportunity to wear blue on April 2^nd to support Oakwood and everyone on the Autism Spectrum and their families.

Why is Blue for $2 important?

• Wearing blue on World Autism Awareness Day shows your support and raises awareness of how we all should care about everyone on the Autism Spectrum.  

What is Autism?

• Autism impacts the way individuals communicate, understand other people and learn
• Their senses are effected – either over stimulated or under stimulated (e.g., busy places might be really overwhelming or certain clothes might be uncomfortable)
• As a result their emotional, social, developmental skills are impacted

What will the funds go towards?

• All funds raised during Autism Awareness Month go towards much needed sensory equipment and other learning tools to support our student’s developmental needs.
• Tomorrow is also our library day, if your child has a book at home, please send it to be exchanged!
• Tomorrow is the last day to bring in money for the Spring Fundraiser!
