- SCHOOL HAPPENINGS -
International Albinism Awareness Day
Albinism is an inherited genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes. Albinism occurs in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world. In the U.S., approximately one in 18,000 to 20,000 people has some type of albinism. In other parts of the world, the occurrence can be as high as one in 3,000. Most children with albinism are born to parents whose hair and eye color are typical for their ethnic backgrounds.
On Friday, June 12th, we are asking staff and students to wear yellow to help bring awareness to Albinism. The school will also be handing out yellow wristbands and taking some time to give information to each classroom.
More information on the condition can be found here: Welcome to NOAH
