Today’s Business & Bagels workshop sparked meaningful conversation about one of the biggest opportunities in today’s workplace: bridging generational differences.

Dr. Jermaine Wilson, Assistant Superintendent of Equity and Student Services for LSR-7 and Founder & CEO of Pivot Path Strategic Solutions, led an engaging and interactive discussion on how different generations communicate, collaborate, make decisions, and stay motivated at work.

Attendees explored ways to move beyond stereotypes, better understand diverse perspectives, and turn generational differences into stronger teamwork and workplace success.

A special thank you to PayMore of Lee's Summit for sponsoring this event and helping make these important conversations possible!

Join us in welcoming Smalls Sliders to Lee's Summit!

It was a perfect day for a Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening Celebration! As we gathered, the smell of bacon wafted through the air. Delicious!

Smalls is home of the cheeseburger slider. They also have fries & handspun milkshakes. Their beef sliders are fresh, never frozen, and made to order.

Check them out, "Slide on thru," at 210 SW Oldham Pkwy!
