Annual World Down Syndrome Day Walk for Awareness!

On Thursday March 19th we will be doing our 3rd annual World Down Syndrome Day Walk for awareness during specials. All classes will attend PE during their specials block for the whole hour. We plan on walking for roughly 45 minutes and spending the last 15 minutes doing a Q&A with Mrs. Brideau.

We ask that all staff and students wear the colors blue (Commonly represents confidence, trust, and intelligence) and yellow (Represents warmth, energy, optimism, and happiness) and wear their favorite pair of mismatched socks (The use of brightly colored, mismatched socks represents the unique, tripled 21st chromosome.)

Please wear comfortable, preferably athletic, shoes and bring a water bottle. The schedule will be as follows. Thank you and looking forward to your support
