This Friday, the 4th of April we will be celebrating World Autism Awareness Day (2/4) by wearing a Hoodie Up for Autism in free dress! We will be collecting a $2 gold coin donation in the morning, and all proceeds will go to Amaze.
Some Autistic people may sometimes experience sensory overload by the environment around them. Wearing a hoodie is an easy self-regulation tool to reduce sensory input and support feeling calm.
The 2025 Amaze campaign focuses on embracing and uplifting the positive aspects of Autistic identity, empowering individuals to fully appreciate and take pride in their experiences. It challenges limiting stereotypes and highlights the incredible skills, perspectives, and joys that come with being Autistic. The campaign encourages everyone to reflect on their own positive Autistic identity, while fostering a community that supports and creates space for Autistic people to confidently be their true selves.
Looking forward to celebrating with you!
Your Student Leaders
