Rock Your Socks

On the 21st, make sure you come to the celebration rocking your favorite wild and colorful and/or mismatched socks, a World Down Syndrome Day Tradition!

“The idea was created because chromosomes are shaped “like socks” and people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome.” – Excerpt from Arkansas Down Syndrome Association (ardownsyndrome.org – accessed February 2021)
