Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

Superintendent Schieferle celebrated World Down Syndrome Day along with Fillmore Unified students and staff. World Down Syndrome Day is a global awareness campaign which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date being the 21st day, of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
