Rock Your Socks: Celebrate Down Syndrome Day Friday March 21

On 21 March, choose some socks that are going to get noticed!

They might be mismatched socks or your boldest and most colorful socks, whatever takes your fancy!

The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks, you can tell them, “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”.

Then, you can tell them everything you want them to know about Down syndrome. You can find resources here!

Get together with your friends/homeroom/advisory and take photos of your socks and share on Teams or email to TanyaFarrol@nanjing-school.com

DP VA & Film Exhibition Continues until this Friday!

Thank you to all our visitors (students, parents, faculty, and community members) who came to our opening night last Friday! We had a fantastic turnout (despite the rain!) and the students were delighted you took the time to see & hear their stories.

The DP VA & Film Exhibition continues to be on display this week until Friday in the Cafeteria Loft (don’t wait until Friday though because that’s also when we will take down the artworks). Although the artists won’t be there in person this week, we have prepared an intro video from each visual artist via a QR code at each space. Art has the power to change the way we see the world; through this exhibition, we hope you will be inspired and challenged by our senior artists and filmmakers to reflect on new perspectives and ideas in your own lives.

P.S. We would love to hear from you! Please don’t forget to scan the Arts Guest Book QR Code within the poster above to leave a message for our student artists & film makers!
