Thank you so much to the Kansas City Zoo for bringing the Zoomobile to our Early Education Center! Our 3–5-year-old students had an incredible experience meeting the animals up close.
Your visit provided a meaningful opportunity to spark curiosity, build early connections to the natural world, and engage students in hands-on learning they will remember. We truly appreciate the time, care, and energy your team poured into creating such a special experience for our learners.

Career Day at Northview Elementary was a huge success with over 50 career speakers sharing with our K–5 students! 🎉
What is traditionally “Bring Your Child to Work Day” was creatively flipped into “Bring Your Parent/Guardian/Career to School Day,” and it was an absolute blast. We loved seeing students, families, and community members come together for such a meaningful experience.
A special thank you to our PTA for their partnership and support in making this event possible. Students also showed up in style by dressing as their future careers—so much excitement and imagination on display! 🚀✨ North Kansas City Schools

On Thursday, April 16th, we hosted our 5th Annual College and Career Fair for all juniors across the district! 🎓

We are incredibly grateful for 80+ partners who made this experience possible for our students. Your support continues to open doors and expand opportunities.
Onward and upward as our students prepare for summer and their next steps! 🚀 North Kansas City Schools
