Students and staff at Siksika Nation High School joined the social media campaign #lotsofsocks which calls for people to wear socks that will get you noticed. The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks you can tell them, “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”.
World Down Syndrome Day takes place on March 21st and this year’s theme calls for people and organizations around the world to be With Us Not For Us – an approach “that views people with disabilities as having the right to be treated fairly and have the same opportunities as everyone else and working with others to improve their lives.”
