I’m incredibly grateful to share that I have been endorsed by the Ritenour NEA and the Missouri National Education Association.

Our teachers and school staff show up every day for our students, and I’m thankful for the trust they’ve placed in me to serve our community.

Together we can continue working to support students, strengthen families, achieve academic and total health success - and keep moving Ritenour forward.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as a candidate for the Ritenour School Board.

My focus is clear:
• Serving the whole child
• Strengthening families
• Achieving academic and total health success

I believe meaningful progress happens when we use relevant data, listen to our community, and implement creative, practical solutions that support student achievement.
I look forward to continuing conversations with families, staff, and community members about the future of our district.

Hello Friends and Family. Last year was a heavy one for me and my family.

We walked through the loss of my beloved grandmother, aunt, and uncle while also stepping into new responsibilities and carrying their legacy forward. During that season, The W.A.Y. Center was not able to offer summer programming in 2025.

But what stayed with me all year was this: our families kept reaching out.

They asked if camp was coming back.
They shared how much their children missed it.
They reminded us why this work matters.

So, with gratitude, healing, and renewed purpose — The W.A.Y. Center is coming back this summer.

We will be offering a 2-week intentional STREAM-focused Summer Camp in the Ritenour and surrounding communities, designed to support both academic growth and total well-being of our youth. This will be a smaller, focused offering toward the end of July or early August (final dates coming soon), but it is an important step in continuing to serve our families and not letting another summer pass without opportunity.

Registration opens April 1, 2026.

As always, this work takes a village. We are actively looking for:
• Community partners
• Volunteers
• Sponsors and funding support
• Organizations who want to invest in youth success

If you feel called to support, we would love to connect.

Thank you for walking alongside us — in both the hard seasons and the hopeful ones. We are excited to be back, watering and advancing our youth together.

Grateful-
Kelly Adams
Founder & Director, The W.A.Y. Center
