March 21, or 3-21, is a symbolic date to celebrate people with Down syndrome and those who live and work with them throughout the world. The date, 3-21 represents Trisomy 21, the medical term for Down syndrome, which is the third replication of the 21st chromosome.

As part of the celebration around the world, people are encouraged to wear crazy socks. The idea is to wear brightly colored, mismatched, long, printed socks — or even layer three socks, one for each chromosome to show support for kids with Down Syndrome.

So rock your socks and join us as we tell the story to accept, respect and include those with Down syndrome in our communities.

Have a great day KMS.

Hopefully everyone remembered to bring in their spare change for the KMS Penny War! The collection containers will be located outside the cafeteria during lunch, the rest of the day they will be in the office. • Remember pennies and paper money count as positive points for YOUR grade. • Silver coins count as negative points for OTHER grades. So, make sure you only put dimes, nickels and quarters in the jugs of other grades! • At the end of next week, all change will be tallied and the grade with the most points will win a night with NO HOMEWORK!
