May is Celiac Awareness Month. Raise awareness in your school!
Mark your calendars for May 13, 2026—it’s Kids Teach Kids Day! It’s a fun, nationwide day where kids take the lead in teaching their friends and schools all about celiac disease.
Celiac Canada offers fun, helpful resources to support students, parents, teachers, and schools in building a more celiac-aware and inclusive place to learn and grow.
Celebrate on May 13, 2026, or choose a day during May that works best for your school or class.
Show your support loud and proud! Rally your class or school to wear green (the official colour of celiac awareness) or a celiac awareness shirt. It’s an easy, visible way to spark curiosity and start conversations about celiac disease!
Help everyone get celiac-smart by sharing our fun and free resources with your classmates, teachers, school staff, and parents. The more we all know, the more supportive we can be!
Thanks to our amazing sponsor O’Doughs, participating classrooms can enjoy 30 single-packs of delicious gluten-free brownies for everyone to share!
Registration for 2026 is now closed. Please use the below resources if you still wish to participate.
We’ve put together a collection of handouts, activities, and info to help students, teachers, school staff, and parents get celiac-smart. For more educational resources, research, videos, activity books and handouts, visit our Children’s page.
Show off your support in style with celiac-themed t-shirts, hats, stickers, and more! Whether you’re raising awareness at school or just repping the cause every day, our online store has something for everyone. Click Here.
Print out this letter for the class, personalize it, then give share it with your child’s teacher or other parents, so they can spread awareness. Download the letter by clicking here.

We’d love to see how your class gets involved! If you share your activities online, be sure to tag @CeliacCanada and use the hashtag #KidsTeachKids so we can celebrate with you and help spread awareness.
