The students in the Calhoun World of
Difference Club host several events throughout the school year. On
April 2nd they hosted a digital Light It Up Blue event to raise
awareness for autism. "Autism does not define a person," said freshman
member, Neda Farhangian. World of Difference hopes that by raising
awareness they can help to promote acceptance, inclusivity, and
celebrate the differences of all students. Senior member Haley Yegidis
said, "I love World of Difference because we get to plan events for the
best and most caring kids in the school." The prevalence of autism in
the United States has risen from 1 in 125 children in 2010 to 1 in 59 in
2020 so, now more than ever, it is necessary that all students be
educated on the uniqueness of all individuals. Thank you to those who
celebrated with us! #bringonthebluefromhome
