Students and staff at the Bowne-Munro elementary school in East Brunswick, NJ collaborated with a parent of one of the children to create tie-dye T-shirts to raise awareness that April is Autism Awareness Month. The goal was to build school community and accept people with autism and their families.
Using an old fashioned tie-dyes such as soda ash, the process takes a while, but the results are wonderful. The colors they chose include blue, baby blue and bright green. In the middle of the T-shirt is a puzzle piece which is common among the autistic community. About 70 of the tie-dye T-shirts have been sold, raising about $200. (Sentinel)
I'm a big fan of tie-dye. Combine that with the great efforts by everyone involved to bring awareness to autism, and I applaud them. Great job.
Do good things.
