#RockYourSocks

Thursday March 21st, 2019 is World Down Syndrome Day!

What is Down Syndrome?

Down syndrome is something babies are born with. It affects the building blocks in their body.
These building blocks are called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain information about us that make us all unique.  People with Down’s Syndrome have an chromosome in their body which can cause issues with their developmental.

To bring awareness to Down Syndrome and to recognize this day we are asking all staff and students to wear bright and/or mismatched socks!!

Why do we wear bright and mismatched socks for World Down Syndrome Day?

Mismatched socks were chosen as a symbol for WDSD because chromosomes are shaped like socks, and those with Down Syndrome have an extra one.

Check out the video below to see how we are all more alike than different!

MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT

DON'T FORGET TO #ROCKYOURSOCKS!
