This year’s Celiac Strong Day reached thousands of students, families, and educators across the country with its message of celiac disease inclusion and awareness. With a record-breaking number of classrooms participating, the day sparked important conversations about celiac disease, empowered students to share their experiences, and helped create more supportive school communities.
Classrooms celebrated in a variety of meaningful ways—from student-led presentations and gluten-free snack breaks, to powerful discussions about health, inclusion, and what it means to support classmates with celiac disease. The day sparked thoughtful questions, encouraged connection, and, most importantly, gave kids with celiac disease the chance to share their stories and feel proud of who they are.
“We had the most wonderful Celiac Strong Day.”
“They felt very empowered!”
“The school was happy to have us present on the topic and the classes had great questions!”
