This morning kicks off the first-ever Neurodiversity Week here in Worcester County Public Schools!
Neurodiversity Week is a global movement that promotes understanding and acceptance of neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. With this initiative, we foster inclusive school environments where all students feel valued and empowered.
We invite our school system community to join us in this awareness campaign by participating alongside us for our spirit week activities. Tag us in your photos using #WeAreWorcester #WCPSNeurodiversityWeek
Spirit Week Activities:
MONDAY 3/17 - Passion & Interest Day: Wear a shirt or outfit that represents a personal special interest or hobby -from gaming to music to dinosaurs!
TUESDAY 3/18 - Sensory-Friendly Day: Wear soft, comfy clothes (like pajamas or sweats).
WEDNESDAY 3/19 - Neurodiversity Colors Day: Wear rainbow colors or neurodiversity symbols (like infinity signs) to celebrate the diversity of all minds!
THURSDAY 3/20 - Strengths Superhero Day: Dress as a superhero or wear a shirt that represents a personal strength le.g., math, art, kindness).
FRIDAY 3/21 - World Down Syndrome Day: Wear socks that will get you noticed! Mismatched, colorful, or bold socks get people talking and help to start conversations on raising awareness for Down Syndrome.
