Ben Bronz Academy students and staff wore orange on Wednesday, Oct. 23, to honor ADHD Awareness.
The choice of orange as the official color for ADHD is meaningful. It blends the energy of red with the joy of yellow. orange represents enthusiasm, creativity, and mental stimulation. The Ben Bronz community wore red, yellow, and/or orange in recognition and support of everyone who lives and learns with ADHD!
The ‘school spirit day’ was a departure from the school’s dress code policy of collared shirts, business causal pants or skirts (no jeans or mesh) and approved school colors.
