We are so proud of our unified lions for their leadership and commitment to all things unified!

Why "Rock Your Socks"?

• The idea is that chromosomes look like socks.

• Each sock represents a different person with their own unique qualities.

• Wearing different socks shows support and solidarity with people with Down syndrome.

Mr. Naylor, Ms. White, Mrs. Masser and Mr. Jackson went head to head during the first assembly! Mr. Naylor beat his competitors!
