Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If anyone is out of school or work for March 21st then you can do the Genes Day on the day before or anytime that week. Many will probably be out of school (at least in America) because that is Good Friday (a Christian Holiday) So...don't let the holiday stop your Genes Day. Just do it earlier in the week!

Head-Start by policy cannot just support one " Charity " or " Cause " so that's out.....I don't have school on Fridays (most of my classes are web-based/self-paced easier on gas that way...) So I'm going internet style for Genes day LOL Becky Warmest Regards Team BRATS http://teambrats08.chipin.com/team-brats-becky-rowe-austin-trey-smith to add the widget to your site click here: http://www.chipin.com/mywidgets/id/d8c674ed5b95e675 Thanks for Donating!

My cousin is home economics teacher at a high school. Her friend is the child development teacher. She is going to see if on March 21st in the child develoment class her friend would teach about ds and mds. I thought it was a wonderful idea. I am sending her the packet of information for adults and kids. I am very excited about spreading awareness. My other cousin is a teachers aide for children with disablities. I have a call into to her to see if she can organize something in her school also. I also sent an e-mail out to everyone on my e-mail list with the attached information asking them to try to organize a gene day at their places of work. So far I got one positive response from my friend who owns a small company in florida and I am very excited. I might be mia again for a few days. I got that damn eye infection back and I am waiting for the doctor to call. I am having a bit of a problem seeing out of one eye so sorry for the typos and errors in this e-mail.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Genes Day is more than just a " day " This is a celebration of mosaic Down syndrome and a fun, unique way to spread awareness to your community. So...you need to think about it in these terms.... From January 14-March 21 you are spreading awareness of mosaic Down syndrome! This gives you a great excuse to tell other people about your FANTASTIC children and at the same time, you can raise money for IMDSA and receive wonderful books and other resources as well as a wonderful T-shirt that will help you continue to spread awareness throughout the year! So...if you are doing Genes Day at a school and the school is closed March 21st then just do the actual Genes Day on March 20th! (or, if you live in Australia, do your Genes Day March 19th!) It really is no big deal what day you do the actual day! World Down Syndrome Day is a week-long celebration! Genes Day is also a week long celebration! So...make your teams, raise your money, compete for the prizes and more importantly spread awareness on MDS and have fun!
