Alsager Highfields Monday 21 March is World Down Syndrome Day
Monday 21 March is World Down Syndrome Day. The date (21/3) is significant as it signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome, which causes Down Syndrome. The symbol of World Down Syndrome Day is a sock, because chromosomes look like socks under a microscope.
On 21 March, we are:
• selling gingerbread socks for £1
• wearing odd socks
We will be selling Gingerbread socks to raise money for Downs Syndrome Cheshire and to help to raise awareness. Please send £1 in with your child from next week for the gingerbread biscuit. We are really looking forward to Steve visiting from the Downs Syndrome Cheshire team to share an assembly on Wednesday 23rd March to talk to us all about the work they do.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs Henshall on senco@alsagerhighfields.cheshire.sch.uk
