World Down Syndrome Awareness Week March 17 - March 21

Down Syndrome Awareness Week is an important occasion for our school community to come together and celebrate the uniqueness, abilities, and potential of individuals with Down syndrome. This week provides an opportunity to educate students and staff about Down syndrome, promote inclusivity, and foster a culture of acceptance and understanding. By raising awareness, we can work to eliminate misconceptions, challenge stereotypes, and create a more supportive environment for everyone, regardless of their abilities. Let’s embrace this opportunity to learn, grow, and support one another in creating a more inclusive and compassionate school community.

Semana Mundial de Concientización sobre el Síndrome de Down

17 de marzo - 21 de marzo

La Semana de Concientización sobre el Síndrome de Down es una ocasión importante para que nuestra comunidad escolar se reúna y celebre la singularidad, las habilidades y el potencial de las personas con síndrome de Down. Esta semana brinda la oportunidad de educar a los estudiantes y al personal sobre el síndrome de Down, promover la inclusión y fomentar una cultura de aceptación y comprensión. Al crear conciencia, podemos trabajar para eliminar conceptos erróneos, desafiar los estereotipos y crear un entorno más solidario para todos, independientemente de sus capacidades. Aprovechemos esta oportunidad para aprender, crecer y apoyarnos unos a otros para crear una comunidad escolar más inclusiva y compasiva.
