Agenda
Friday, April 15th - Albion goes BLUE! Students and staff are invited to dress up head to toe in their bluest gear, the crazier the better! The color blue is associated with Autism Awareness because it represents the high number of boys diagnosed with the disorder, which is five times greater than the number of girls diagnosed with Autism.
Friday, April 22nd- Albion's AA Autism Awareness War! We challenge each AA classroom to compete in our poster competition! The posters will be judged Friday and the winning AA room will earn a pizza party! The poster should promote Autism Awareness and will be judged on creativity, relation to Autism Awareness, and overall look.
Friday, April 29th- Find-A-Fact Friday! Students are encouraged to take a minute during the week to find a fact about Autism and write it down. These facts can be turned into the blue table during their lunch period in exchange for a special reward!
