BROOKE COUNTY SCHOOLS

Friday, March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day.  This day is designated to help people understand and support those diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It is 3.21 to represent the triplication of 21st chromosome which causes Down Syndrome. Let's rock our socks to show our Brooke County support for World Down Syndrome Day.  When sharing pictures on social media of your school rocking their socks use #WorldDownSyndromDay and #LotsOfSocks.

Registration closes April 1st!

The Brooke County Board of Education honored our BHS student athletes for their accolades.
