Today is World Down Syndrome Day - a day to advocate for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of people with Down syndrome all over the world. Why March 21, or 03/21? The day was chosen to represent the triplication of the 21st set of chromosomes, which causes Down syndrome.

This year's theme is "With Us, Not For Us." It serves as a reminder that people with Down syndrome need to be just as much a part of the work being done to secure them the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
@HWDSB Love this day! We should have a few more days that celebrate our students differences throughout the year. Creates an inclusive space and positive school climate. Imagine what we could learn about our classmates, students and peers
