Rotolo Middle School student brings awareness to Down syndrome

BATAVIA – Rotolo Middle School students weren’t just acting silly when they wore brightly colored mismatched socks to school Thursday.

Sixth-grade student Katie Michel asked her friends via text message and Instagram to wear “brightly colored crazy” mismatched socks to bring awareness to World Down Syndrome Day.

World Down Syndrome Day is March 21 to symbolize a third copy of the 21st chromosome in people with Down syndrome.
