April is the Month of the Military Child and HMS is proud to celebrate our military students and their families. Do you know why purple is the official color for military children? Purple represents the unity and combined colors of all military branches: Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard (blues), Army (green), and Marine Corps (red). Purple also represents bravery and courage both attributes of military children.

What: Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day!
When: Friday, March 21
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. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks!
Students and staff are encouraged to wear their most colorful socks, mismatched socks, or blue and yellow socks to support this day and prove that we are all more alike than we are different.
