There are not nearly as many private schools and most people seem to be in the public schools in Johnson County were we are. Previously I was in Franklin Tn, and even though the public schools were excellent - there were still a ton of people who sent their kids to private schools. Across the line in Missouri - I think it may be a different story and certainly thats true downtown.

The harder task for us in ministry is to model our support by having our own kids be a part of the public school system. Luckily for us, the public schools that our kids are a part of have been great, but we recognize that we have some advantages in accessing system wide resources.

The school neighborhood was changing even then. I am very much interested in helping in any way that I can to rejuvenate this school for today's children.

I'm currently going to college to be a teacher (most likely at the high-school level). I've spent my whole life either being told or knowing how vital education, and a decent and safe environment, are to today's kids. I think it's absolutely great what the church is doing for KCK's youth!! That’s wonderful!! I’m currently going to college to be a teacher (most likely at the high-school level).
