Lighthouse school shines light on autism

(CNS): On Saturday, 29 March, the Lighthouse School will host a 2-mile Fun Run/Walk at North Sound Golf Club to raise local awareness about Autism. The event is the first in a series hosted by the school for students with special education needs to mark April being Autism Awareness Month. On 2 April there will be a public forum/information session at Mary Miller Hall, and the event series will conclude with a family fun day at Dolphin Discovery in West Bay on 26 April. The school is encouraging everyone to help ‘shine a light on autism’ and is promoting the series of events with the headline, ‘Light it up blue’. In keeping with the theme, a prize will be given away during the fun run/walk for the ‘bluest’ person. In addition, the first 100 registrants will receive t-shirts.
