March 21st, 2018

Students were excited to show off their colourful and creative socks for our Sock Spirit Day.

March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), and is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012.  The date being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

A local photographer took beautiful photos of children with Down Syndrome and their families. Their story and photos are here:
