Sam is a cool kid with a wonderful family! Not only is this family a model of love and compassion, they demonstrate how recognizing the strengths and gifts we have to offer can help us put our challenges into perspective, and perhaps even diminish the challenges we face.

Sam is an AMAZING young man! He works as an intern in our office at the Down Syndrome Guild of Greater Kansas City. He is a very hard worker, dedicated and loyal so I'm not surprised at all by his team mates and classmates wonderful support.

I was at the ball game and as a 69 year old man it brought tears to my eyes. My granddaughter goes to North and I am so proud of this school.
You have no idea how special it had to make that young man at that point of his life.
