Public schools connect students and families with their greater communities. These middle schoolers in the Blue Springs School District built 30 beds and raised more than $4,000 for nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace! The fully furnished beds were delivered to children in need.

The Bear has nothing on these little chefs at Kearney School District who learned how to make fruit smoothies at home from a professional chef! As part of their summer learning, they experienced a fun, hands-on activity and then learned how the chef prepares large batches of the same recipe in her work.

Public schools offer opportunities to learn year-round! Middle school summer school students in Platte County R-3 School District have been working with Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative for a Make48 Design Challenge. They have been creating innovative smart energy devices to help homes, businesses, and community centers save energy and live more sustainably. They’ve developed prototypes and marketing pitches while learning all about automation and energy use! Have something like this in your district that you want to share with the world?

We love seeing the skill development opportunities that public schools provide for our kids! These high school finance class students paired up with sixth graders to set up a “store” to practice budgeting, purchasing, and the business aspect of running a store. Thanks for sharing, Knob Noster Public Schools!
