In honor of World Down Syndrome Awareness Day (March 21), Bargerton students can wear mismatched socks and/or blue and yellow this Friday!
Ever wonder why we wear mismatched socks for Down syndrome awareness? Chromosomes often resemble the shape of socks. Most people have two copies of chromosome 21, but most individuals with Down syndrome have an extra one—three copies instead of two!
Wearing mismatched socks is a fun way to start conversations and show our love and support for our friends with Down syndrome.
