East Lake Students Rock Socks For Down Syndrome Awareness
S
ocks with colorful stripes, cartoon characters and pictures of food adorned the feet of students at East Lake Elementary School in the Massapequa School District on March 22 to mark World Down Syndrome Day. Mismatched socks and custom designed Massapequa Rock Your Socks footwear were also popular choices. The annual Rock Your Socks day, coordinated by the school and Massapequa SEPTA, is an annual event to raise awareness about Down Syndrome. World Down Syndrome Day is observed on the 21st day of the third month because it signifies the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome. With March 21 a Sunday, East Lake students and staff donned their funky socks at school the following day. See the rest of the story on page 21.
