Respect All with Down Syndrome

Welcome

The SLT or any educator who is conducting the assembly will address the students positively saying good morning to all. One can start this assembly with the sign of the cross: “In the name of the Father, and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen”

Introduction

Last Sunday on the 21st of March we celebrated World Down Syndrome day. Let us watch what these children want to share with us about their little brother.

Watch

Reflective Thought

In our school we want to show that everyone is special and unique in his/her own way. We want to say no to any kind of bullying. We will show respect towards all children and appreciate that we are all different, but we have the need to love and be loved. We believe that children with Down Syndrome have the same rights as all of us. They have the right to be part of our groups, and the right to express themselves the way they feel comfortable.

Optional

Prayer

Dear God, we pray for all the children who are being bullied or disrespected because they have Down Syndrome to find hope and for their bullies to stop bullying them. May we always respect our friends who have Down Syndrome and their families between us and to be respectful and kind to everyone. Amen
