Sharing this great oldie in honor of National Down Syndrome Awareness Month! Have a listen to Sam’s 7th grade history rap from Franklin Middle School in Wheaton, Illinois. Proof that inclusion rocks! We can’t share this without shout-outs to Mr. Gordon, Sam’s phenomenal aide; to his fabulous history teacher, Mr. Bonnamy; and to Julia Shaw, the talented classmate who sings the solos. Enjoy!
