Rowan’s Law Day – Wear Purple September 25!

Have   you   ever   bumped   your   head   or   body?   We   likely   all   have!   In   sports   and   active   games,  there   can   be   risk   involved.  Turns   out,  some   bumps   and   bruises   can   really   hurt   our   brains,  and   these   may   need   a   lot   of   time   to   heal.   Rowan’s   Law   helps   protect   kids  who   play   sports   or   play   active   games   in   schools   just   like   you!   Sometimes   sports   have  an   element   of   risk,  and   that’s   okay   so   long   that   we   know   how   to   approach   that   risk   safely!   Rowan’s   Law   helps  teachers,  parents/ guardians,  and   coaches   learn   about   preventing   concussions   (also   known   as   bumps   and   bruises   to  the   brain)  and  helps   people   who   get   concussions recover.  On September 25, we ask all students to wear purple to bring awareness to brain injuries and concussions.  It helps us remember to play safe and to tell an adult when we have been bumped on the head.
