Danny Blevins, a kindergartener at Baxter Elementary, loves to dance. But, he also has Down Syndrome, a condition the Centers for Disease Control estimates one out of every 691 children is born with.
During Baxter High School’s “Spread the Word to End the Word” rally Wednesday, Danny introduced himself during a video presentation. It ended on a scene with a roomfull of his classmates, cheering him on and shouting, “Spread the word to end the word!”
The word? They’re talking about the “R” word.
