💙💛 On our page, we ask parents to submit their child with Down syndrome! Ron and Angel sent us this beautiful letter about Jayden! Ron & Angel, thank you so much for sharing all his awesomeness with us!

"I’m writing to share and celebrate our son Jayden, per the website request to receive pictures. Jayden has Down syndrome and brings an incredible amount of energy, joy, and heart to everything he does.

He loves the sousaphone and is a proud member of the Osborne Red Sea of Sound marching band—a community he truly holds close to his heart. He began his band journey at Smitha Middle School, where he was recognized at the end‑of‑year celebration for participating in band and other Connections independently with general education, without needing additional support. That transition set him up beautifully for his move into high school band life.

Today, Jayden marches every day with a big smile, a big heart, and a genuine joy for life. He is currently part of the concert band and will officially join the marching band in April 2026. We hope you enjoy the photos of him in action and will join us as he continues his journey with the Red Sea of Sound at Osborne High School.

Thank you for the work you do and for giving families a place to celebrate Down Syndrome and moments like these.

Warm regards,

Ron & Angel"

We'd love to hear from more of you!
