World Autism Awareness Day ~ Wear Blue April 3rd

World Autism Awareness Day is an annual reminder that autism is a growing global health issue that impacts tens of millions of children and adults around the world. By participating in WAAD, we bring attention to the needs of these individuals and their families, celebrate their unique talents and actively promote global community inclusion.

This year WAAD is April 2nd. We will be observing the day by wearing BLUE at James Robinson on April 3rd. 

Wear BLUE and show your support during World Autism Awareness Day.

X-Dance Community Engagement Event - April 5th

Part of the funds raised from the community by school council and through spirit wear sales are used to provide program enhancement opportunities.

Between April 3-5, students will have an opportunity to participate in an XMovement program called X-Dance as one of these program enhancements.

"X Dance is a curriculum-based dance program that explores diversity through a high-energy and culturally rich dance experience. Students identify their unique characteristics, celebrate with the I am Xtra Awesome affirmation, and broaden their understanding of how they can make the world a more inclusive place."

On April 5th, from 6-8 p.m., X Movement will be hosting a community engagement event for families so the students can strut their stuff and teach their family a few "moves"!

Save the date in your calendar and stay tuned for more information.
