We were delighted to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day today in Nun’s Cross.

We held a special assembly and the whole school community gathered to learn all about Down Syndrome. But more importantly we learned about how we all have an important role to play in understanding, accepting and being kind. Everyone had their crazy socks on show, their posters flying high and even sock hats were blowing in the wind! We all learned some new Lámh and today we focused on learning to sign ‘I am your friend’.

There was cake a treats to celebrate our amazing friends who have Down Syndrome and the its safe to say that the children all had a blast.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to all our school community who dug deep and contributed so generously to our day. We raised a huge €440 for the Down Syndrome Center who work so hard to support all our wonderful Down Syndrome children and adults and their families.
