The 4th graders are once again leading SOCKTOBER. Over the last several years, generous donations from all grade levels have allowed College Park Students to donate close to 3,000 pairs of socks to people in need.
Beginning Monday, the 4th graders will be accepting donations in order to reach a goal of 700 pairs of socks by the end of October. Please consider donating if you are able!
October is also Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Socks are associated with Down syndrome because microscopic views of chromosomes resemble socks! We will also organize a ROCK YOUR SOCKS DAY at the conclusion of the month where students can be encouraged to wear mismatched or very colorful socks. Wearing mismatched socks is sometimes used as a way to support and spread awareness about Down syndrome as people with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome.
Thanks for considering as we work to make a difference by giving and learning about each other!
