March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD.) “It is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. Down Syndrome International (DSi) encourages friends all over the world to raise awareness of what Down Syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down Syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.” Watch this link – WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT

Please sign the pledge (as a class or with your parents) to End The R-word here. This video explains why you should stop and encourage others to do the same – END THE R-Word
To help spread awareness wear#LotsOfSocks! But not just any socks…
…wear official #LotsOfSocks socks, other brightly colored socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sock… even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. Wear something people will ask you about so that you can tell them all about WDSD and not to use the R word.
And one last video to warm your heart!
