Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day
Thursday, March 21st
World Down Syndrome Day is an annual event held on the 21st of March to raise public awareness about Down syndrome and to celebrate the lives and achievements of people with Down syndrome. One way to show your support on this day is by wearing mismatched socks. The reason behind this is that chromosomes look like socks, and people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome, which is why mismatched socks symbolize the uniqueness of individuals with Down syndrome. So, grab a pair of mismatched socks and wear them on Wednesday to show your support for those with Down syndrome and spread awareness.

Thursday Tidbits:
Please bring your child(ren) to school on time every day. Hawthorne School's instructional day runs from 8:30AM to 3:00PM. Students who arrive after 8:30AM must receive a late pass.
Regular tardiness to school can adversely impact the academic performance and social-well being of students. Additionally, students arriving late to the classroom disrupt the flow of morning instruction.
