Rock Your Socks Drive
World Down Syndrome Day, which is observed on March 21 every year, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD, the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the 3 copies of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. On a chromosome chart, the chromosomes look similar to socks, which is where the idea for Rock Your Socks came from. So, on March 21st every year we rock our funky or mismatched socks to celebrate everyone’s differences that makes all who we are. In order to help other Rock Their Socks, we are collecting new, unused socks to support People’s Resource Center in order to help everyone be able to Rock Their Socks. There is a donation box located in the Forest Glen foyer for those who would like to donate socks.
Spirit Week

Spring Break Reminder
All District 41 schools will be closed for Spring Break from Monday, March 25 through Friday, March 29. School will resume for all students and staff on Monday, April 1.
For those families leaving early for break, please do not request any work from the teachers in advance. District practice has been that work is not given in advance for vacations or trips. Any work that is missed can be completed upon the student's return to school.
