SJC rocked our socks yesterday for World Down Syndrome Day, in support and to spread awareness. Together we advocate for inclusion, acceptance and love for those with Down Syndrome, and for all. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two great commandments.”
