World Autism Day

McGaugh Parents:

April 1st is the official Autism Awareness Day.  Because this disorder continues to have a growing impact on children in our world and affects many of the students at McGaugh Elementary School, we will be observing World Autism Awareness Day on April 1st.
Here is more information about this event worldwide.

World Autism Awareness Day
This is the 4th year and everyone is gearing up for April 1 and 2. Buildings around the world will turn their lights blue to shine a light on autism. Internationally, look for the Sydney Opera House in Australia and Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. In Los Angeles we will see LA Live (Staples Center and the adjoining hotels) and LAX go blue!
Here are some ways you can participate;
- Turn your porch light blue during April
- At McGaugh we will be encouraging all staff and students to wear blue instead of our red on Friday, April 1st.
