Let’s Get Ready To Celebrate Sam!
Sam is the real life inspiration of Let’s Get Ready For First Grade! He is one of the characters in the First Grade book and has a dedication on the back cover. His family galvanized our community to raise over $450,000 to build Possibility Playground in Port Washington, WI. Cedar Valley Publishing and the Kannenberg family were proud to be part of Sam’s Dream Team.
This past weekend was the Run, Walk & Roll that raised an additional $8,000 funds for expansion. According to Sue Meyer, Sam’s amazing mom, “Sam participated in the 5K walk…more of a roll since he spent most of the time in his wagon. He also helped pull his friend Patrick Schmit in his wheelchair during a portion of the walk. But in the last 20 yards, he ran to the finish line just like all the other runners and Bill Schanen (publisher of the Ozaukee Press) captured his victory!!”
Okay, so if you liked Sam’s first picture from the Run, Walk and Roll for Possibility Playground. You’re going to love this one too!!!
Way to go Sam!!! You continue to inspire us all!
Another way to help Sam is to visit The National Association for Child Development.
