Tomorrow April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day! Although we aren’t at school, we can still show support by wearing Blue tomorrow!! #LightItUpBlue Viola Desmond Public School

Hey Viola Desmond Public School WEAR BLUE for 2 reasons tomorrow. 1. To Show Desmond Spirit; 2. To Celebrate Autism Awareness Day! Autism Awareness Day is on April 2nd! Celebrate our Differences! ‘Cause...It's OK to be Different!

Despite being physically away from each other, it warms my ❤️ to have students “figuring things out” and coming together online to collaborate on learning opportunities. It’s just more fun this way! Let’s stay connected! Erin Elliott Viola Desmond Public School
