Dear JS Waters Families and Stakeholders, We are excited to share that JS Waters School will be participating in Rock Your Socks on Friday, March 21, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day! This special day is an opportunity to celebrate inclusion, awareness, and the incredible individuals in our community with Down syndrome. This year, our participation is especially meaningful as we show our love and support for Mr. Wilkins' daughter, Miss Gracey Wilkins. We invite all students, staff, and families to wear their brightest, mismatched, or funkiest socks to school as a way to celebrate and spread awareness. Let’s make this a special day by standing together in support of the Wilkins family and all individuals with Down syndrome. Thank you for your participation and for helping us make a difference! Ways to Celebrate: 🧦 Rock your socks! Wear your most colorful or mismatched socks! 💙💛 Wear blue and yellow! These are the colors used to raise awareness for Down Syndrome! Please see the attached flyer for more information! Also attached is a picture of when Miss Gracey recently joined some of our Cub family in the CCSO's Special Olympics Polar Plunge Fundraiser!
