TODAY’S NEWS
Each year the DSBN recognizes Rowan’s Law across all schools on the 4th Wednesday of September. Tomorrow, September 25, Rowan’s Law Day will be observed by our school. This is a day to increase awareness about concussions and to positively promote injury prevention. Rowan’s Law was created after Rowan Stringer, a 17-year-old student, died after sustaining two concussions. Rowan did not tell anyone about her injuries or share how she was feeling with her family, coaches or friends and her concussions went untreated. By observing Rowan’s Law Day each year and educating our school community about concussions, we hope to promote a culture of safety at our school. Purple was Rowan’s favourite colour, so we are asking students to wear purple to school on tomorrow – it could be a purple shirt, socks, a ribbon – anything purple to represent Rowan.
