The colors of rainbows have many different meanings. Most recently, the range of colors depicted in a rainbow have been used to celebrate and raise awareness regarding the range of abilities of the individuals on the Autism Spectrum. This year we are asking students and staff to wear a different color of the rainbow each day to celebrate Autism Awareness month during the week of April 12th. The schedule is as follows:
4/12, Monday wear RED
4/13, Tuesday wear ORANGE
4/14, Wednesday wear YELLOW
4/15, Thursday wear GREEN
4/16, Friday wear BLUE or PURPLE
Every Friday (4/9, 4/23 & 4/30) during the month of April wear rainbow colors or autism awareness t-shirts.
Students please trace and decorate your own handprint to show the support of diversity of Autism Spectrum Disorder and turn them into school/your teacher by Friday, April 9 and we will hang them up in the hallways.
Please reach out with any questions and thanks for your support in helping spread awareness!
Enjoy your spring break!

Please consider joining our team.
Many people have asked where to find a description of the roles. You can find our complete by-laws on the PTO website under forms and documents. I am also including the section that specifically address the roles below.
