Today we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 💙💛
Our preschoolers in Mrs. Stewart’s class showed their spirit by rocking their favorite socks for #LotsOfSocks! 🧦✨
This special day reminds us to celebrate what makes each of us unique—while also recognizing how much we all have in common. Differences make our world brighter, kinder, and more inclusive.
We are proud to stand together, celebrate inclusion, and spread awareness—one colorful sock at a time! 💙
