Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day!🧦

Every year on March 21st, people around the world celebrate World Down Syndrome Day—a day to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and celebrate amazing individuals with Down syndrome.

One of the fun and meaningful ways to join in is by wearing mismatched socks! Why? Because chromosomes are shaped like socks, and people with Down syndrome have an extra one. It’s a simple, colourful way to spark conversations and show support.🧦

💡 Here’s how YOU can get involved with Orchardville Society:

Wear Your Socks: On March 21st, grab your brightest, boldest, most mismatched socks and wear them loud and proud!
Share Your Socks: Snap a picture and post it on social media using the hashtag #RockYourSocks and tag us @Orchardville.
Get the Word Out: Spread the message of inclusion by encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to take part.
This global celebration is all about coming together to embrace individuality, raise awareness, and make the world a more inclusive place.

🗓 Date: Friday, March 21st
📍 Where: Anywhere and everywhere! At home, work, school, or online—just rock those socks!

Let’s join the world in celebrating this incredible day.

Together, we can make every step count! 🧦💙
