On World Cerebral Palsy Day, we come together to show support and raise awareness for individuals living with cerebral palsy around the world. This year, we would love for our school community to join in!
💚 On October 7th, we invite all students and staff to wear green.
Green is the official color of cerebral palsy awareness, and by wearing it, we show our care, respect, and solidarity with the millions of people who live with CP.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about kindness, inclusion, and celebrating differences. Thank you for helping us create a school culture that values and supports everyone.
We can’t wait to see our school shine bright in green!💚
