💚 GO GREEN FOR RIVER! 💚

Today, Friday, October 23, our James A. Garfield Elementary 5th and 6th grade students and staff proudly wore GREEN in recognition of Kabuki Syndrome Awareness Day and, most importantly, to show their love and support for their friend and classmate, River Ziska! 💚

Kabuki Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in every 32,000 births worldwide. Individuals with Kabuki Syndrome may experience a variety of physical, developmental, and learning challenges, including growth delays, low muscle tone, heart defects, and communication difficulties. The syndrome affects each individual differently, making awareness, understanding, and acceptance so important.

Today was about more than wearing green. It was about friendship, kindness, inclusion, and standing together as one G-Men family! 💚

We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for showing River that she is surrounded by a school community that cares about her and celebrates what makes each of us unique.

River, today we wore GREEN for YOU! 💚
