Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day. Every year on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by wearing brightly colored, mismatched socks. March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. The tradition of wearing socks was chosen because the karyotype of Down Syndrome chromosomes looks like a pair of mismatched socks! Best Buddies encourages everyone to wear their bright, mismatched socks tomorrow to spread awareness and celebrate our friends with Down Syndrome.
Miss VandenBerg's AP Statistics classes are ready for March Madness and a little competition !

Mrs. Zolk’s English 2 Honors students added some movement to their analysis by completing a question trail on recent reading of A Tale of Two Cities. They answered questions that tested their skills in analyzing characters, literary devices, author’s choices, and theme, and they retraced their steps to figure out where they went wrong if they had any missteps. Good teamwork, scholars!
