April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Wear Blue Day is a chance to highlight the ways that people can help great childhoods happen across Iowa and the country. A classroom was selected here at Douma this week to help "plant" a pinwheel with guidence from Dee Brook from the Waplello County Children's Alliance. You can get involved in Wear Blue Day on April 5th and every Friday thereafter by:
- Wearing blue on April 5th and tell people you are participation in a National day to highlight child abuse prevention.
- Take a picture of yourself and your family/friends/colleagues all dressed in blue and share it on your favority social media platform using the #WearBlue hashtag.
- Share a story of how you help mentor children, advocate for policies that keep kids safe, or donate time or money to a local child serveing organization and inspire others to get involved during Child Abuse Prevention month.
- Get in touch with your local Prevent Child Abuse America state chapter to learn how you can help buy pinwheels to make your own garden!
