Did you know that tomorrow, March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day? 💙💛 We are lucky to have two incredible students in the Olympia Transition Program who help make our school community stronger every day. This morning, McKale helped spread awareness during OHS’s announcements with a powerful message: “It’s a day to celebrate differences and remind everyone that being different is awesome! You might see people wearing crazy or mismatched socks tomorrow, that’s because chromosomes look like socks, and people with Down syndrome have an extra one! We love being part of this school, and we’re proud of who we are. Today, we encourage you to choose kindness, include everyone, and celebrate what makes us all unique.” This afternoon, our students got creative making their own mismatched socks to join in the celebration! 🧦 Tomorrow, we invite everyone to rock their craziest socks and help us celebrate inclusion, kindness, and the beauty of being uniquely you. 💙💛
