Innovative Born Learning Trail and
Success By 6 Center open at Woodland
Learning begins at birth, and the families and neighbors at Woodland Early Learning Community School now have two unique new resources to help their children from birth to age 6 enjoy invaluable education experiences. United Way partnered with the Kansas City Public Schools to create the outdoor learning trail, and with BMO Harris Bank, who provided funding for the Success By 6 Resource Center inside the school. BMO Harris also will provide the funding to create five more Born Learning Trails throughout the metro area this year.
Recognizing Those Who Do So Much for Our Community
Attorney Michael Hockley (right) received United Way’s Adele Hall Spirit of Caring Award at our annual meeting on March 5, and Burns and McDonnell received the Corporate Pinnacle Award. The awards recognize an individual and a company who exemplify the dedication and generosity of those who support the mission of United Way in our community. New board members and board officers also were elected at the meeting, and Ian Wood of McCownGordon Construction was the lucky winner of a 2014 Dyna-Wide Glide motorcycle donated by Harley-Davidson.
