Important dates for the rest of the school year.
Every year on March 21st, people all around the world come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly colored, mismatched socks. March 21st is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Please ROCK YOUR SOCKS on Thursday in honor of our special friends! #sparkpride
