On March 21st, we wear either mismatched or colorful socks to celebrate the things that make us unique!
Why rock our socks? While most people are born with 2 copies of their 21st chromosome, people with Down Syndrome are born with 3 copies-a piece of your genetic makeup that looks like a sock!
While Down syndrome may affect how a person looks, learns, or speaks, they are more alike than everyone else than they are different. Many
go on to college, find jobs, and get married. Many compete in the Olympics and
have become actors or actresses.
The upper campus ROCKED THEIR SOCKS when they pulled on a pair of unique
socks to support Down syndrome!
