Notes From the Principal
Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day!
March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day. We celebrate and raise awareness by wearing our brightest, loudest socks. Wear your colorful, mismatched, or unique socks in celebration of people with Down syndrome and the joy of diversity!
The picture shows chromosomes. They look like socks, right? This is where the idea of Rock your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day was born from.
The one circled is chromosome 21 - note the three copies of the chromosome. This is Trisomy 21 also known as Down syndrome. You and I have just two copies of Chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have 3 copies.
Why is WDSD held on March 21st? 21:3
Chromosome 21, 3 copies = 21st day of the 3rd month of the year
All are encouraged to wear fun, patterned, and even mismatched socks for our Marathon Community members and beyond. Since there is no kindergarten on March 21, kindergarteners rock your socks on your next school day, March 22! #WDSD23 #WorldDownSyndromeDay
