Rainbow Day 2021

Autism Day With Flying Colours In Clonlisk.

The twenty ninth of the fourth marks a very special day in raising awareness for a very special cause. But special does not describe those with Autistic Spectrum Condition. At Clonlisk N.S., we and the kind souls at LOFFA (“Laois Offaly Families for Autism" is a local support group by parents for parents and families of children and adults with Autistic Spectrum Condition(ASC)”) firmly believe that children with ASC Are 'Extraordinary, Gifted and Unique'.

Thanks to a collaboration courtesy of LOFFA, students of Clonlisk N.S. got to raise awareness of ASC by donating money and wearing bright colours.

Given the consensus of Clonlisk N.S. and of course if LOFFA feels the same, perhaps this collaboration could become an annual event?

This reporter may not be a meteorology reporter but I think it looks like more rainbow days in Clonlisk N.S. forever!
