Odd Socks Day 2025 🧦

Today the Healthy Schools team are celebrating Odd Socks Day by proudly wearing our mismatched socks! Odd Socks Day is all about celebrating what makes us all unique and spreading the important message that it’s good to be different.

It’s also a great reminder that kindness and respect are key to creating happy, healthy school communities. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate individuality and support one another, not just today, but every day.
