The last Wednesday in September is #RowansLawDay! At our school, we’ll be sharing Rowan’s story & teaching our students & staff how to identify the signs & symptoms of concussions! #HitStopSit. Join us! A FREE Toolkit is available from @OpheaCanada! https://ophea.net/rowans-law-day-toolkit-schools
It’s #RowansLawDay and we’re learning about the signs and symptoms of concussion using this FREE Toolkit from @OpheaCanada. Get your school involved too and let’s keep kids safe! https://ophea.net/rowans-law-day-toolkit-schools #HitStopSit
We’re making sure staff, students, and parents/guardians know the signs and symptoms of a concussion and are marking #RowansLawDay by remembering Rowan and wearing purple. Here’s a pic from our school today [add image of students/staff in purple]. #HitStopSit

It’s not just coaches who need to know the signs and symptoms of concussions… because it’s not just athletes who are at risk. We all are. We like this video, Concussions 101 by @docmikeevans, and encourage everyone to view it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCCD52Pty4A #RowansLawDay
