Westside observing Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Westside Elementary School kicked off Down Syndrome Awareness month on Oct. 1 by wearing blue and yellow to school.

Mrs. Braswell’s first grade class and Mrs. Kennedy’s special education class made posters and participated in a celebration in support of Jada Morris (a first grade student at Westside). On this day, Governor Robert Bentley also declared October 1st as Alabama Down Syndrome Day.

The students and teachers at Westside were very excited to kick off Down Syndrome Awareness month in support of the children and families in our community affected by Down Syndrome!
