Lots of Socks<\/u><\/span><\/h2>\n

Lots of Socks is a fun initiative to support Down\u2019s syndrome Awareness Day on 21st<\/sup> March every year. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Why socks? Well, because chromosomes look like socks and people with Down\u2019s syndrome have an extra chromosome! \u201cLots of Socks\u201d is acknowledged around the world as being associated with Ds.<\/span><\/h4>\n

We are asking for children (and staff, parents!) to wear \u2018lots of socks\u2019 in creative ways \u2013 you might wear socks on your feet, on your arms, as a belt, in your hair!? Or perhaps you might want to wear odd socks \u2013 as long as they are prominent and shout out that we are supporting Ds, anything goes J Bring along a donation on the day and all proceeds will go directly towards Down\u2019s Syndrome Scotland.<\/span><\/h4>\n
