Remember to wear your bright, colorful, and mismatched socks on Friday, March 20 in honor of World Down Syndrome Day and the Lots of Socks recognition!
World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated globally each year on March 21 (3/21). The date represents Trisomy 21, the genetic condition that causes Down syndrome, where individuals have three copies of the 21st chromosome instead of two.
Since March 21 falls on a Saturday this year, PAWZ would love for our school to celebrate on Friday, March 20 by participating in the “Lots of Socks” tradition. Students and staff are encouraged to wear bright, colorful, or mismatched socks to celebrate differences and show support for individuals with Down syndrome.
The reason socks are used is because chromosomes can resemble the shape of socks. The extra chromosome in Trisomy 21 is represented by wearing fun or mismatched socks to spark conversations and raise awareness.
Celebrating this day helps promote inclusion, understanding, and appreciation for the abilities and uniqueness of all students. One of our own City Park family members is featured on the graphic below.
Thank you for helping celebrate and support such a wonderful community of learners. Please contact Ms. Chesni Collins for more information or to share your photos at chesni.collins@dalton.k12.ga.us
