Westpark Students Step Up for Down Syndrome Awareness with a Simple Show of Support.

At Westpark Elementary, a small act is set to carry a meaningful message across campus this week.

On Friday, March 27, students and staff are invited to wear bright, mismatched socks as part of a schoolwide effort to raise awareness and support Down syndrome. The idea is simple but intentional. Something as everyday as a pair of socks can spark conversations about inclusion, kindness, and celebrating differences.

The event is part of a broader effort to help students not only learn in the classroom, but also grow in how they see and support others around them. By leaning into a fun and visible gesture, the school creates space for awareness to feel approachable and shared.

For families, it is an easy way to join in. Pick out the most colorful pair in the drawer, send your student to school ready to participate, and be part of a moment that reminds the community that everyone belongs.
