Show Me KC Schools

We had an amazing time today at the St. Louis Public Library. Over 250 people came through to learn about school options in the city. So happy to have the support of Activate MO, United For Children, and the YWCA at the fair as well as all the public schools options in STL. Great day for the City!

We had such a blast visiting Midtown Community School! This is the season for transition packets, and Show Me KC Schools will be popping up across the city to help students and families navigate their next step in education!

Thanks for having us!

This week, Danielle Dispenza from Show Me KC Schools visited with our 8th graders to help them learn the basics of high school and explore their options. Students were encouraged to talk with their families, attend the upcoming City School Fair, and take an active role in finding a school that fits their unique interests, strengths, and goals.

At Midtown, we believe students grow as leaders when they learn to take ownership of their choices and their futures. We're grateful to Danielle and Show Me KC Schools for helping our students feel informed, empowered, and ready to take their next steps!
