Cavaliers Wear Red for Autism Acceptance!
On April 2nd, Hanks Middle School celebrates World Autism Awareness Day. We invite all Cavaliers to wear RED to show our support and appreciation for our neurodivergent students and friends.
At HMS, we believe that every student’s unique perspective makes our campus stronger. Wearing red is a simple way to say that everyone belongs here. Let’s fill the hallways with red to celebrate the strengths and talents of our entire Cavalier family!
