Rocks Your Socks - World Down Syndrome Day
On Tuesday 21 March, we held a ROCK YOUR SOCKS day in school to raise awareness on World Down Syndrome Day. This is because all over the world people are going to be wearing non-matching socks for World Down’s syndrome day.
This is to show that people with Down’s syndrome are different but the same!
None of us like feeling left out, people with Down’s syndrome are no exception. They want to be included, so reach out and get to know the person, not the condition.
An odd pair of socks may be a different pattern or colour but can still be worn together quite happily if we change our attitudes about having to wear matching socks.
So to wear non-matching socks is to remind us that the way we think, is really important, and makes a difference to whether people with Down’s syndrome feel included or not.
The children came into school wearing odd, colourful socks and we raised £61.65 for Stepping Stones DS based in Fleet.
