Good afternoon Daniel Hand High School community:
Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day – Monday, March 21, 2022
The Daniel Hand High School community invites everyone to wear lots of bright and colorful socks on March 21st to raise awareness on World Down Syndrome Day! World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), observed on March 21st every year, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. Why March 21st? The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month (3.21) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplification (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome.
Rock Your Socks… and join families from around the world to help raise awareness of what Down Syndrome is, what it means to have Down Syndrome, and how people with Down Syndrome play a vital role in our lives and our communities. Help us make the world a more accepting place for children and individuals with Down Syndrome.
